AV and workplace technology should do more than switch on. It should shape how people meet, stay, learn, and experience a space. AVYA helps organisations plan, integrate, and optimize audio visual and workplace technology across offices, hotels, campuses, and cultural venues through strategic advisory, environment specific expertise, and independent guidance.

Founder & Principal Consultant · AVYA
With over 18 years of experience across the GCC, Parag Kothari has helped organizations, hoteliers, universities, and cultural institutions navigate complex AV and technology decisions and deliver environments that support collaboration, productivity, guest experience, learning, and business growth.
As a CTS certified professional and AVIXA Xchange Advocate, Parag brings a consultancy-first approach that focuses on strategy, stakeholder alignment, and long-term value, not just technology implementation or product selection.
Too often, audio visual and technology systems for offices, hotels, campuses, and cultural spaces are treated as an afterthought. By the time technology decisions are made, key design choices have already been finalized, resulting in compromises, costly changes, and inconsistent user and guest experiences.
AVYA was founded to bridge the gap between design, business objectives, and technology strategy, helping organizations make informed AV and workplace decisions from the very beginning of every project.
Every environment is different. Our process begins with understanding your business, your space, and your goals before technology decisions are made.
Assess objectives, operational needs, and user, guest, visitor or learner expectations for each type of space.
Identify the audio visual and workplace technology solutions required to support desired outcomes, from meeting rooms and ballrooms to classrooms and galleries.
Align architects, consultants, designers, IT teams, operators, and project stakeholders around a clear AV and technology direction.
Create a pragmatic roadmap, set of standards, and high level budgets that support current needs and future growth across your portfolio.
Provide expert oversight throughout design development, tender, integration and commissioning so AV is delivered as intended.
Ensure technology performs effectively in real use, and refine settings, workflows, and standards to deliver long-term value for users, guests and operators.
Technology planning, workplace assessments, and future-ready AV and collaboration roadmaps that align with organizational goals and hybrid work.
Meeting rooms, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom environments, boardrooms, training spaces, and town hall areas designed to support seamless communication and content sharing.
Ballrooms, meeting suites, restaurants, lounges, bars, pools, and spa areas with coherent background and foreground music, flexible event AV, and guest friendly control.
Auditoriums, lecture halls, hybrid classrooms, and campus wide AV upgrades that support teaching, remote participation, and content capture.
Digital signage, IPTV, and workplace communication platforms that keep employees, guests and visitors informed and engaged across offices, hotels, and campuses.
Projection, immersive experiences, and outdoor or indoor media that bring stories to life in museums, visitor centres, and cultural destinations.
Vendor neutral consulting, design reviews, RFP and tender support, and expert guidance to support informed technology and integrator decisions.
Coordinating stakeholders, timelines, and AV implementation so technology is considered alongside architecture, interiors, IT, and operations from day one.
Ensuring AV and technology is considered at every stage of the workplace design process, from strategy through to commissioning and handover.
Independent, vendor-neutral expertise across every environment — from a single meeting room to an entire portfolio.
Schedule a ConsultationActing as your local AV and technology representative in the GCC, providing on site presence, coordination, and reporting so design intent is protected and issues are identified early.
Reviewing AV designs, proposals, submittals, and installations from integrators, and providing independent written recommendations to owners and global consultants.
Monitoring construction and commissioning activities for AV and workplace technology, maintaining punch lists and status reports until systems are fully handed over.
Many AV and technology challenges in offices, hotels, campuses, and cultural projects originate long before installation begins. When AV is introduced late, organizations often face redesigns, budget overruns, coordination issues and compromised user and guest experiences. By involving AV and technology expertise early, businesses can align design intent, functionality, and future requirements from the outset.
