Vedhearej’s journey began when he joined the club at the age of 11, where he found mentorship and guidance from his scoutmaster, Krishnamurthy.

He credits his mentor, Krishnamurthy, and the foundation for guiding him and providing financial support.
Reflecting on his journey, Vedhearej emphasizes the importance of seizing opportunities, working hard, and staying dedicated. He hopes to secure a good job in the future but remains grateful to the club and those who helped him along the way.
