<h4> Early life </h4>
<article>
<p>
Pusarla Venkata Sindhu was born in Hyderabad to P. V. Ramana and P. Vijaya. Both her parents
have been national level volleyball players. Her father, Ramana, who was a member of the
Indian volleyball team that won the bronze medal in 1986 Seoul Asian Games, received the Arjuna
Award in 2000 for his contribution to the sports. She has an elder sister, P. V. Divya, who
was a national-level handball player. However, she was not interested in pursuing professional
sports and became a doctor.
</p>
<p>
P.V.Sindhu lives in Hyderabad. Though her parents played professional volleyball, Sindhu
choose badminton over it because she drew inspiration from the success of Pullela Gopichand,
the 2001 All England Open Badminton Champion. She eventually started playing badminton from
the age of eight. Sindhu first learned the basics of the sport with the guidance of Mehboob Ali
at the badminton courts of Indian Railway Institute of Signal Engineering and Telecommunications

Gopichand seconded this correspondent's opinion when he said that "the most striking feature
in Sindhu's game is her attitude and the never-say-die spirit." After joining Gopichand's
badminton academy, Sindhu won several titles. In the under-10 years category, she won the
5th Servo All India ranking championship in the doubles category and the singles title at the
Ambuja Cement All India ranking. In the under-13 years category, Sindhu won the singles title
