Proud parents Saurabh Laddha and Pranita Gawande Laddha stand behind their son’s goal to represent India internationally, guided by his coaches from Youngster’s Skating Club in Pune. Vardaan’s journey is a testament to his hard work, consistency, and unwavering commitment to the sport, and his future potential is something to be hopeful about.
