DVS Advisory Group has appointed Prakash Subramanian KV as a Director on its Board, strengthening its leadership as the firm continues to expand its global presence and build institution-grade capabilities.
Prakash brings over 35 years of experience across banking, capital markets and asset management. He has held senior leadership roles with leading global financial institutions, with expertise spanning financial markets, investment advisory and business leadership.
He has also played a significant role in the development of GIFT City and has been associated with the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) since its inception. He served on the IFSCA Regulatory Committee and later advised its Chairman on regulatory matters and the strategic development of GIFT City’s IFSC.
Earlier, Prakash served as Managing Director at Standard Chartered Bank, CEO of Millennium Capital India, and Head for Singapore and South Asia at a leading US securities firm.
Welcoming Prakash, Divakar, Founder & CEO, DVS Advisory Group, said: “As DVS expands globally while simultaneously building institution-grade platform capabilities, Prakash’s deep experience in institutionalising complex, cross-border and highly regulated businesses comes at a defining stage of our journey. His expertise in governance, board-led leadership, risk management, and building scalable operating models will be invaluable as we professionalise our organisation, strengthen our governance framework, and evolve DVS into a globally integrated, institution-led professional services platform.”
Prakash Subramanian KV said: “The most enduring institutions are built on trust, governance and the courage to innovate. DVS Advisory Group has the vision and ambition to redefine professional services, and I look forward to contributing my experience in helping the firm scale sustainably, create long-term value for its stakeholders, and build a globally respected enterprise.”
The appointment comes soon after DVS Advisory Group formalised an exclusive strategic alliance with Whitman Advisory, supporting its plans to build a globally integrated professional and business services platform. The firm aims to pursue US accounting firms representing over US$250 million in aggregate revenues over the next 30 months, backed by a planned investment commitment of up to US$500 million over five years across India and the US.
