Sindhu's mother confirms the news.

"She was given the job offer by the Andhra government during her felicitation at Vijayawada, immediately after her return from the Rio Olympics. When she went to the National Women’s Parliament on February 10 and 11, she gave the consent letter," as told to Hindustan Times.

She further added,

"Sindhu will take a call after she gets the appointment order. After all, it should not affect her game and she has a long way to go in her career. But she has to settle down one day. We understand it is a very good offer, and since Sindhu is still young, I think it will definitely help her."

The 21-year-old has been working with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and is an Assistant Manager (sports) at the Hyderabad office.
