About Sindhu Rao

Hi, I’m Sindhu. I work as a Sr. Business Analyst at Visa Inc, Bengaluru, where I focus on innovation, strategy, and intellectual property.Innovation has always felt personal to me, there’s something deeply fulfilling about helping people bring their ideas to life. I co-created CreON, Visa’s structured innovation program, which began as a grassroots effort and has now grown into a more advanced, AI‑enhanced model. Across 10 cohorts, CreON has engaged 250+ participants and sparked nearly 100 ideas connected to Visa’s business priorities.In my role, I also support Visa’s intellectual property portfolio, from conducting prior art searches and building strategic dashboards to analyzing trends and uncovering competitive insights that guide decision-making.I’m genuinely curious about emerging technologies and love exploring how they can make work and life—a little more imaginative and efficient. I bring this curiosity into everything I do.Outside of work, I’m an avid Kannada reader, and literature continues to be one of my favorite ways to recharge and stay inspired.If you’re passionate about innovation, IP strategy, or meaningful applications of new technology, I’d love to connect. s••••••••@gmail.com
