Unveiling the Journey: VBanks' Story of Success
OUR STORY
Original Pioneer
Embark on a narrative that transcends time, as we unveil the storied heritage of VBanks, rooted in the early 1900s of India.
​
The Voyage of Visionaries. Our saga commences with Ranchhod Dada and Laxmi Ba’s valiant expedition from Valbhipur to Mandva. Propelled by the quest for new horizons, they carried not just the fertile soil of their motherland but the seeds of a legacy destined to flourish through the ages. Their sacrifices laid the cornerstone of freedom and progress, charting a destiny for the Vaghashia name.
​
Govind’s Epoch. In the rural tranquility of Gujarat, in November 1950 heralded the inception of Govind’s tale. As the fifth born, of seven children, his birth marked the advent of an era ripe with promise. Nurtured in the virtues of spirituality, prayer, and faith, Govind learned to navigate life’s vicissitudes with humility and optimism. The devastating loss of his mother at the young age of 13 was a profound setback for him and the entire family; however, his father, older brother and sister-in-law fortified his resolve and reminded Govind of her teachings in perseverance and optimism. This newfound hope guided him on a solitary odyssey to the United States to study Chemical Engineering at the University of Southern California in Downtown Los Angeles in 1973.
Journey to Los Angeles, California
A Dream Realized in Los Angeles. Govind’s sojourn from the pastoral fields of India to the vibrant streets of Los Angeles was a testament to his tenacity. Armed with resilience, patience, and his mother’s optimism, he transformed from a farmer’s son to a student leader, and later defied the odds of leaving his childhood village to pursue a graduate degree from USC. To Govind, ‘impossible’ was a notion to be conquered, a declaration of ‘I AM POSSIBLE.’ Unswayed by naysayers and despite having no financial support from his family, Govind’s future path was his alone to forge.
​
The Genesis of VBanks. Embracing life’s challenges with wisdom and optimism, Govind’s relentless pursuit of knowledge was matched only by his dedication to work. His strategic pivot into Southern California’s real estate market was a prelude to a serendipitous partnership with Mrs. Vaghashia, laying the foundation for VBanks’ future. Govind's vision as a Real Estate entrepreneur in LA began with his first venture in Hospitality after acquiring a Franchise motel in 1976. The commitment to long days and nights of being an owner operator with his loving wife Sonal and first-born son was a testament to the grit, perseverance and tenacity required to survive the early stages of building a dynasty.
