Our story

Why Vivac exists.

Every year, thousands of B.Com graduates in Chennai finish college fluent in theory and helpless in practice. They can define a journal entry but can't pass one in Tally. They've memorised GST sections but never filed a GSTR-3B. They've been taught accounting — but not how to be an accountant.

Meanwhile, CA firms and SMEs spend the first six months training every new hire from zero. Students stay stuck in junior roles with no clear path forward. The gap between what colleges teach and what employers need just keeps widening.

Vivac was founded in 2019 to close that gap — not with more theory, but with the practical, software-driven, compliance-aware training the industry actually buys.

Today, every Vivac batch is led by a Chartered Accountant. Every student trains on licensed software. And every EAP enrolment carries a placement guarantee backed by a real fee-refund clause — written into the student contract, not just the marketing.

Our sister venture, Rizu — an Accounting-as-a-Service platform for Indian SMBs — hires Vivac graduates directly into its operations team. That structural link is the reason the placement guarantee actually works.

The founder

CA Suraj Davey, in practice 15 years.

CA Suraj Davey
Founder & Principal Trainer

Suraj is a Chartered Accountant registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (Membership No. 282712). Fifteen years in practice across audit, taxation, and SMB advisory.

He founded Vivac in 2019 after watching B.Com graduates leave college fluent in theory and helpless in practice — while CA firms in Chennai trained every new junior from zero. Vivac is his answer to that gap.

He also founded Rizu — an Accounting-as-a-Service platform that hires Vivac graduates directly into operations. That structural link is the reason the placement guarantee actually works.

"Behind every great business is a good accountant. Vivac exists to train them — and Rizu exists to be that accountant for every business in India."

The team

The trainers students keep naming in reviews.

Read our Google reviews and you'll see the same two names again and again — the trainers running the floor every batch.

CA Karthika

Trainer Chartered Accountant

Leads the GST, Income Tax, and finalisation modules of EAP. Named repeatedly in student reviews as "Karthika ma'am" — students remember her patient, explainer-first style and her habit of always making time to clear doubts.

Karthika Veerabahu

Trainer B.Com

Runs the Tally Prime, Zoho Books, and Advanced Excel modules. Singled out in Google reviews as "very patient" — explains topics in a simple way, encourages students, and takes time to make sure everyone keeps up.

Knowledge Partners

Chartered Accountants we collaborate with.

Curriculum review and advisory support from CAs in active independent practice — outside the Vivac team, deepening what we teach.

CA Yashwanth Anand Pesala

Our DNA

Four things every Vivac batch guarantees.

CA-led, not coach-led

Founded by a Chartered Accountant. Every module designed and taught by professional accountants in active practice.

Licensed software, not pirated

You train on the same licensed Tally Prime and Zoho Books that working CA firms use day to day.

Guarantee with teeth

Interview guaranteed within 30 working days of EAP completion, or 100% of your fee is refunded. In the contract, not just the marketing.

Rizu pipeline

Vivac's sister venture, Rizu, hires graduates directly into its operations team. Placement doesn't depend on external markets alone.
