I've scoured the internet but found nothing so I'm turning to the Dis. I have a virtual interview with an Indian organization tomorrow. How do you pronounce the Indian first names Diwaker and Divesh?

My guesses would be Dee-walker and Duh-vesh with the emphasis on the second syllable in both names. My company has tons of Southeast Asian clients.
 
This place has pronunciations by both English speakers and language of origin speakers for various names:

Type the name in the search bubble, then click the little grey speaker icon next to it (or scroll down a bit, and they're on the right.)
 

I agree with the above comments. Also, there is a good chance the interviewers will introduce themselves so you will get to hear how they pronounce their own names.
