Who is this?
Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy (born August 9, 1985) is an American entrepreneur and politician. He founded Roivant Sciences, a biotechnological pharmaceutical company in 2014 and was its chief executive officer until 2021. Ramaswamy entered national politics as the youngest presidential candidate in the 2024 Republican primaries. He withdrew his bid and endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election. He is currently the Republican nominee for Governor of Ohio for the 2026 elections and received endorsements from both President Trump and the Ohio Republican Party. Ramaswamy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Indian immigrant parents. He graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in biology in 2007. He earned a Juris Doctor from Yale University in 2013. Ramaswamy became an investment partner at a hedge fund, before founding Roivant Sciences in 2014. He also co-founded an investment firm, Strive Asset Management, in 2022. Ramaswamy largely remained apolitical until 2020, when he supported Donald Trump for the 2020 presidential election. In 2021, Ramaswamy wrote his first book, Woke Inc, and appeared on cable networks arguing against left-wing "woke" policies. He also became an active donor to the Republican Party. Ramaswamy briefly considered running in the 2022 U.S. Senate election in Ohio. Ramaswamy describes himself as a conservative and an American nationalist. He has criticized environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) and affirmative action; however, Roivant Social Ventures, one of his companies, was working in support of DEI and ESG. He has promoted numerous conspiracy theories and false statements. In April 2026, Forbes estimated Ramaswamy's net worth to be $2.5 billion; his wealth comes from biotech and financial businesses.
