Udaipur, December 3, 2024 - India’s badminton star, PV Sindhu is all set to settle down in matrimony this month in Udaipur. The two-time Olympic medallist will be marrying Hyderabad-based businessman Venkata Datta Sai on December 22 in the city. According to family sources, the wedding festivities will start in Udaipur from December 20.

An IT professional, Sai is the executive director of Posidex Technologies. He is the son of GT Venkateshwar Rao, managing director at Posidex Technologies who was also part of the Indian Revenue Service (IRS).

Sindhu’s father PV Ramana said that the two families have known each other but everything was finalised only a month ago. Explaining the reason for the quick decision of finalising the date, he said: “This was the only possible window as her schedule will be hectic from January. She will start her training soon after as the next season is going to be important….So that is the reason the two families decided to have the marriage ceremony on December 22”.

Sindhu is one of the greatest athletes of India and has an impressive tally of five World Championship medals. This includes a gold in 2019, along with silver and bronze at the Olympic Games. She reached a career-high world ranking of No. 2 in 2017.

Sindhu on December 1 ended a two-year title drought to win the Women's Singles title in the Syed Modi International Badminton Tournament.
