Anjay Lakhan (born 1976) is a Fijian-Indian New Zealander known for his contributions to property development, education, and public service. He is the co-founder and director of Lakhan Properties NZ Limited[1], a residential construction firm based in Auckland. Lakhan is also a published academic and YouTube content creator[2], with a personal journey that reflects grit, discipline, and financial acumen.
Early Life and Migration
[edit]Lakhan was born in Fiji and raised within a Fijian-Indian community. In 2007, at the age of 30, he immigrated to New Zealand with only NZD $8,000 to his name. The move was a leap of faith, driven by the desire for a better future for himself and his family. Despite financial and cultural challenges, Lakhan quickly adapted to life in Aotearoa.
Career
[edit]Education and Public Service
[edit]Upon arrival in New Zealand, Lakhan worked weekdays as a school teacher and spent weekends as a corrections officer. His dual employment showcased his work ethic and commitment to community service. His experience in education led to a publication in a peer-reviewed journal, exploring how mobile technology can improve learning outcomes, particularly for students from low socio-economic backgrounds.
Academic Publication
[edit]In 2019, Lakhan co-authored the study titled "Comprehensive Review on Academic Achievement Levels through M-Learning", published in the Journal on Educational Psychology. The paper analyzed data from 18 peer-reviewed sources and concluded that mobile learning enhances motivation, academic performance, and student engagement. However, the study also highlighted obstacles such as the digital divide and the necessity for professional development in teaching staff.[3]
Property Development
[edit]In May 2021, Lakhan co-founded Lakhan Properties NZ Limited with Reshmi Salini Ratnam Lakhan. The company focuses on residential building construction and is based in West Auckland. Anjay serves as a 50% shareholder and director, with the business quickly gaining recognition for its fast property turnarounds and strategic investing.[1]
As of 2025, Lakhan owns 14 rental properties across New Zealand. His approach blends traditional buy-and-hold strategies with insights from market timing, capital gain optimization, and tenant-friendly renovations.
According to a Stuff NZ article, Lakhan's ability to quickly sell properties is attributed to strong property presentation, buyer psychology, and strategic marketing.[4]
Online Presence
[edit]Lakhan operates a YouTube Channel [2] where he goes over different aspects of his personal life, including many things from videos about his dog Pluto loving money, to the unveiling of his 2023 Ford Raptor.
Personal Life
[edit]Anjay Lakhan lives in Auckland with his family. Despite his financial success, he remains grounded in his roots and is known for advocating hard work, resilience, and community upliftment. His business partner and co-director at Lakhan Properties NZ Limited is his spouse, Reshmi Lakhan.[1]
Legacy and Recognition
[edit]Lakhan has become a role model in New Zealand’s Fijian-Indian and immigrant communities. His story of arriving with limited funds and achieving multimillion-dollar property success has inspired others to pursue education, real estate, and entrepreneurial ventures.
