Divakar Vijayasarathy

Divakar Vijayasarathy is a global tax strategist, entrepreneur, and author on a mission to redefine how the world understands taxation. With nearly two decades of experience advising entrepreneurs, family offices, and multinational enterprises across more than 40 countries, he believes tax is not a cost to be minimized—but one of the most powerful levers of prosperity ever created.

As the Founder of DVS Advisory Group, Divakar has spent his career working at the intersection of government policy, enterprise ambition, and long-term value creation. His core belief is simple yet unconventional: when taxation is aligned with public priorities, it becomes a catalyst for growth, innovation, and societal progress rather than a constraint on enterprise.

This philosophy evolved into his widely recognized Tax as Profit™ framework, which reframes taxation as a behavioral and economic tool capable of aligning private incentives with national and global objectives. Through tax alignment, Divakar seeks to help entrepreneurs grow responsibly while enabling governments to achieve development, inclusion, and sustainability goals—restoring trust in the social contract between the state and enterprise.

Trained as a Chartered Accountant and deeply influenced by history, political economy, and philosophy, Divakar brings first-principles thinking to complex global systems. An educator at heart, he has taught and mentored thousands of professionals, distilling complexity into clear, actionable frameworks that transcend jurisdictions and business cycles.

Through his writing and work, Divakar’s mission is clear: to transform tax from a source of friction into a shared language of progress—one that harmonizes enterprise success with societal prosperity.
