Ahmedabad, June 24th, 2026: Tennis legend and Olympic medalist Leander Paes on Tuesday, June 23, visited the Vijayi Bharat Foundation (VBF) and its High Performance Centre in Ahmedabad.
Paes appreciated VBF’s work toward youth development and said, “It is my honour to visit and learn about the wonderful work that VBF is doing. VBF, via its work, is empowering the Indian youth and helping build a stronger nation.”
Paes is India’s only Olympic medalist in tennis and an 18-time Grand Slam champion. The Olympic bronze medal he won in Atlanta in 1996 inspired a generation of young athletes to take up tennis and aim to win the next Olympic medal for India.
