Biography

Youth

Teshana Vignes Waran comes from a family of Indian descent and Hindu religion. Born and raised in Malaysia, in a region where badminton is controlled by the Buddhist community, Teshana Vignes Waran and her sister, Sashina, who is a year older, were educated with the idea that moving to Europe would give them more opportunities for success in their discipline. Their mother Ms. Shanta Vignes Waran, an ex-banker in Kuala Lumpur founded the Oncourt Sports International Badminton Academy at the Selayang Mall Badminton Centre in 1999 when she noticed a deep interest and craving from her children to play badminton when they were eight years old.[5]
