DIVAKAR VIJAYASARATHY: FOUNDER & CEO, DVS ADVISORY GROUP

Divakar Vijayasarathy is redefining how businesses think about tax in a world where growth, capital, and purpose are deeply connected. As the founder and CEO of DVS Advisory Group, he has transformed tax from a compliance requirement into a strategic tool for value creation. With over two decades of experience across more than 40 countries, Divakar brings a global lens to tax strategy, helping entrepreneurs, investors, and family offices align tax planning with business goals, capital efficiency, and national priorities.

Founded in 2007, DVS Advisory Group began as a small advisory firm and has since evolved into a global professional services platform operating in India, the US, Singapore, and Dubai. Under Divakar’s leadership, the firm integrates tax, capital, and strategic advisory to create systems that not only solve tax challenges but also prevent them, turning complexity into clarity and risk into opportunity.

At the core of Divakar’s approach is Tax as Profit™, a framework that reimagines tax as a currency of progress rather than a cost to minimize. He views taxation as a signal of national priorities and a lever for sustainable growth, helping businesses build long-term strategies that are both profitable and responsible. His thought leadership blends strategy, policy insight, and systems thinking, guiding clients toward decisions that support both enterprise ambition and societal impact.

Beyond his professional achievements, Divakar is an author, platform builder, and strategic thinker who believes that knowledge is the most valuable asset. His work sits at the intersection of enterprise and policy, offering a visionary perspective on how tax can become a driver of growth, resilience, and innovation.
