In this episode, I sit down with Divakar Vijayasarthy, founder of OneDVS, for a deep dive into the evolving world of Private Equity, taxation, AI, and the future of professional services.
Divakar brings a rare blend of domain expertise across finance, tax advisory, and strategic consulting, having worked with funds, founders, and family offices. We start by unpacking the current state of Private Equity in India, where he shares why value creation is shifting from traditional financial engineering to deep operational involvement. From there, we explore how AI is reshaping the services industry—from due diligence to deal sourcing and tax structuring.
We also dig into the challenges that founders face when dealing with complex taxation and exit scenarios, and how firms like OneDVS are using data and domain knowledge to guide better decisions. Finally, Divakar offers his bold predictions on what the next decade of service firms will look like—with AI as a co-pilot and consultants needing to shift from generalists to niche operators.
Whether you're a fund manager, founder, or operator in professional services, this conversation is packed with insight.
