Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy was born on August 9, 1985, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to parents from Kerala, India; his father was a General Electric engineer and his mother a geriatric psychiatrist.
He grew up in Ohio, went to public schools through eighth grade, and graduated as valedictorian of St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati in 2003. At Harvard University he majored in biology, presided over the Harvard Political Union and graduated in 2007.
With a Paul & Daisy Soros fellowship he attended Yale Law School, receiving his law degree in 2013.
From 2007 to 2014 Ramaswamy was at QVT Financial, a hedge fund, where he became a partner and co-managed its biotechnology investments.
In 2014 he founded Roivant Sciences, a biopharmaceutical company that acquired drug patents from larger firms and built subsidiaries around them; he was its chief executive until January 2021 and its executive chairman until February 2023.
In 2022 he co-founded Strive Asset Management in Columbus, and he has written the books Woke, Inc. (2021) and Nation of Victims (2022). In September 2026 Forbes estimated his net worth at $2.3 billion. Ramaswamy backed Donald Trump in 2020 and weighed a run for the U.S. Senate in Ohio in 2022.
On February 21, 2023, he declared his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination as the youngest candidate in the field; he later withdrew and endorsed Trump. In 2026 he co-founded Atlas Atomics, a startup working on heavy-water reactor technology.
Ramaswamy is the Republican Party's nominee in the November 3, 2026, race for governor of Ohio, an open seat because Republican governor Mike DeWine is barred from a third consecutive term. Endorsed by the Ohio Republican Party and Trump, he won the May 5 primary against minimal opposition.
His Democratic opponent is Amy Acton, a former state health director who was unopposed in her primary. If elected, he would be Ohio's first Indian American governor and the first Hindu to hold a governorship anywhere in the United States.
