Ellora Private Office was established by Vibha Vallabh to provide an independent, unconflicted layer of global oversight for international family wealth.

Vibha's professional background across major international hubs, including England, Switzerland, the United States and and Latin America, provides the framework for managing complex cross border footprints.

Her early career in litigation offers global families a distinct operational advantage and is the foundation of how she thinks. Years spent in court watching carefully constructed arrangements unravel, not through bad faith, but through governance that was never quite as rigorous as it appeared, bring forensic insight into how international structures are tested, and how structural friction can be mitigated before it results in systemic exposure. The question she returns to with every family is not only whether their structures are technically correct, but also whether they will hold under the pressures that time, relationships and regulation inevitably bring.

Having operated both in private practice and as international General Counsel, Vibha coordinates global structural harmony from New Zealand’s secure, neutral jurisdiction. Working strictly as an independent fiduciary ally alongside a family’s existing professional networks, she ensures that overarching strategic intent, foundational values, and assets are seamlessly preserved across generations.

She works with a small number of internationally mobile families, acting as the adviser who holds the full picture across every structure, jurisdiction and generation, and who remains available when circumstances require it.

The practice operates from New Zealand. a neutral, stable jurisdiction as useful as an operating base for families seeking independence from any single onshore jurisdiction.
