Ashok Sewnarain is the CEO and Founder of IBV - International Vaults. IBV is South Africa’s first and most sophisticated, privately owned safe deposit vaults. He was born in Mayville Durban and his father ran a small, often struggling, estate agency. When he took over the family business, he injected new ideas into it, thus expanding into the hotel and hospitality sectors "I subscribe to the philosophy that says one should persevere and be determined to pursue his dreams in whatever business that one chooses,"
