An apple doesn’t fall far from the tree is a popular axiom that says much about Ikenna Melvin Ekeh who stands out as a third-generation entrepreneur. Hailing from a lineage steeped in entrepreneurial spirit, it is clear that the handsome and amiable man did not go into business by accident. He was born into a family with a history of successful business empires.
This son of billionaire and digital entrepreneur, Leo Stan Ekeh, the founder and Chairman of Zinox Group, it is not surprising that Ikenna has won so many laurels as a businessman.
From a young age, he demonstrated a strong aptitude for real estate, actively contributing to the family’s property venture, Age Properties, during his college years.
His involvement in strategic planning played a pivotal role in the company’s remarkable growth, underscoring his innate business acumen.
This early experience laid a solid foundation for his return to the real estate sector, particularly with the advent of fractional blockchain real estate businesses.
Ikenna, a distinguished and highly talented professional, has rapidly emerged as a leading figure among dynamic under-30 entrepreneurs revolutionising business across the African continent.
As the visionary Founder and CEO of Invidux, a pioneering blockchain-based real estate investment platform in Nigeria, the young Ikenna is determined to propel his vision forward.
With the ambition of building the largest tech estate investment platform in Africa by the year 2030, his leadership has already seen Invidux achieve groundbreaking success.

The platform swiftly garnered $490,000 in patronage just two months post-launch, following an eight-month ideation period.
This remarkable achievement, not only attracted the attention of venture capitalists but also spotlighted Ikenna as a formidable force in the entrepreneurial world.
As he continues to steer Invidux towards unprecedented heights, Ikenna remains steadfast in his commitment to transforming the real estate investment landscape across Africa.
Before Invidux, Ikenna launched Just Own It, an innovative Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) service under TD Africa Distributions Ltd, the largest distributor of technology and lifestyle products in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The initiative, driven by Ikenna’s forward-thinking vision, has significantly broadened the horizon of affordable asset ownership for countless Nigerians since its inception in 2021.
