Vivek Ramaswamy
Vivek G. Ramaswamy (born August 9, 1985) is an American entrepreneur, author, and conservative political activist. He established  Roivant Sciences, a biopharmaceutical firm, in 2014 after serving as an investing partner. He has been writing and speaking out against big tech censorship, critical race theory and  stakeholder capitalism since 2020. In August 2021, he released Awake, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Fraud, after quitting Roivant in 2021. He published Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence in September, and in 2022 he co-founded Strive Asset Management, an investment company that opposes environmental, social, and corporate governance. He currently serves as the Executive Chairman of Strive Asset Management.
In a 2022 New Yorker story, Ramaswamy was referred to as “The CEO of Anti-Woke, Inc.”; in a 2023 Politico article, he was called “one of the intellectual godfathers of the anti-woke movement.” On February 21, 2023, Ramaswamy declared on Tucker Carlson Tonight that he would be running for president of the Republican Party in 2024.
Early and Personal life
Vivek was born in 1985 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and raised there. His parents fled Vadakkencherry, Palakkad, Kerala, India, for the United States. His mother earned a degree from Mysore Medical College and worked as a geriatric psychiatrist, while his father earned a degree from a regional engineering institution in Kerala and served as an engineer and patent attorney for General Electric. Ramaswamy has suggested that American-style capitalism offers lower-caste Indians more economic options as a remedy for the caste system in India. In 2003, Ramaswamy completed his studies at Cincinnati’s St. Xavier High School, a Jesuit secondary school. He was the class valedictorian and a nationally ranked junior tennis player in high school.
Ramaswamy received his A.B. in biology from Harvard College in 2007 and graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. The ethical issues highlighted by the creation of human-animal chimaeras were the topic of his senior thesis. In 2007, a summary of his thesis—which won the Bowdoin Prize for Natural Sciences—was printed in The New York Times and The Boston Globe. A post-graduate scholarship was given to Ramaswamy in 2011 by The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans. Ramaswamy graduated with a J.D. from Yale Law Schoo in 2013.
Ramaswamy first met his wife Apoorva while they were both students at Yale University studying law and medicine, respectively. Apoorva is an assistant professor and clinician at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. They have two sons together. Hindu Ramaswamy is.
