Our story

Avish Kapadia, Founder and Principal Consultant

After a decade delivering technology transformation for some of the largest organisations in Australia and New Zealand, including IBM, EY, Fonterra, MinterEllison, Te Whatu Ora and KiwiRail, Avish saw a consistent pattern. The tools and strategies that transformed enterprises were never reaching the businesses that needed them most: small and medium businesses, here in New Zealand.

He founded Lovain in Auckland in 2026 to close that gap, and to help organisations adopt AI where it genuinely makes sense. Lovain offers enterprise-grade AI consulting and execution for small and medium businesses, at a price point designed to deliver a return from the first project.

We collaborate with trusted delivery partners when a project needs extra specialist skills, so you can focus on running your business.

How we’re different

What working with us is like

Enterprise expertise, SME pricing

Methodology refined at global consulting organisations, delivered at a fraction of the cost. No minimum $150k engagements or six-month discovery phases.

We implement, not just advise

Hands-on setup, configuration and training. Working systems, not 80-page strategy documents gathering dust.

Speed to value

Measurable results in weeks, not months. We prove the value of one focused project before you commit further. Your time and budget are respected.

Principles

What we stand for

Practical over flashy: We start with the tasks that cost you the most time, not the newest technology.
Honest advice: Sometimes the right answer is a tool you already have, or not using AI at all. We’ll say so.
Safe by default: Privacy, accuracy and people in control are designed in from the start, not bolted on.
Built for New Zealand: We understand New Zealand businesses, our privacy law and the way we like to work.
