Double Olympic medalist and Indian badminton icon PV Sindhu is gearing up for a major milestone this month—her wedding. The athlete, celebrated for her historic achievements on the court, will marry senior IT professional Venkata Datta Sai in a grand ceremony scheduled for December 22 in Udaipur. A reception will follow in Hyderabad on December 24.
A Quick Turnaround for the Big Day
Sindhu’s father, PV Ramana, confirmed that the match was finalized just a month ago. Both families, already acquainted, saw this month as the ideal time for the wedding. “Her schedule is packed from January with an important season ahead. This window was the only viable option,” Ramana shared. Sindhu, who has consistently made India proud with her badminton exploits, will soon return to training post-wedding to prepare for the demanding 2025 season.
The choice of Udaipur, known for its palatial wedding venues, underscores the significance of the occasion. However, Sindhu’s focus remains sharp on her professional commitments, with the event neatly slotted between her rigorous athletic calendar.
Meet Venkata Datta Sai: The Man Behind the Match
Venkata Datta Sai is not just a senior IT professional but also someone deeply entrenched in innovation and technology. Currently the executive director at Posidex Technologies, Sai has made significant contributions in data science and machine learning. He is the son of GT Venkateshwar Rao, managing director of Posidex and a former IRS officer.
Sai’s educational journey is equally impressive:
- Diploma in Liberal Arts and Sciences from Foundation of Liberal and Management Education (FLAME).
- BBA in Accounting and Finance from FLAME University.
- Master’s in Data Science and Machine Learning from the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore.
His professional stints include roles at JSW and Sour Apple Asset Management, culminating in his leadership role at Posidex Technologies since 2019. On his LinkedIn profile, Sai boasts about his proprietary solutions that underpin critical operations at leading Indian banks like HDFC and ICICI.
Posidex Technologies and Sindhu’s Unintentional Connection
Interestingly, Sindhu unveiled Posidex Technologies’ new logo last month, a moment that now holds a different significance. The association between Sindhu and Sai’s professional world adds a unique layer to their upcoming union.
Posidex, known for its cutting-edge data resolution technologies, has seen Sai helm innovative projects that impact millions, from instant credit score matching to rapid loan approvals. His work reflects a sharp, solution-oriented approach—a quality that may resonate well with Sindhu’s disciplined, goal-driven persona.
Wedding Details and What’s Next
The wedding ceremony in Udaipur promises to be an intimate yet grand affair, bringing together family, friends, and a select group of Sindhu’s close associates. The December 24 reception in Hyderabad will mark the formal conclusion of the festivities, allowing Sindhu to return swiftly to her training schedule.
Her marriage, planned with precision amidst a tight professional calendar, highlights her unrelenting commitment to the sport. For fans and followers, it’s another reason to celebrate the life and achievements of an athlete who has consistently inspired millions.
