Talk:Sridhar Ramaswamy

Request Edit April 2021
I work for Neeva, the company where the subject of this article founded. Based on guidance from the Contact Us page for the subjects of articles to submit proposed updates or corrections,, I’d like to request that independent editors please review these suggested changes, which I believe improve the article substantially.. I won’t edit the article myself because of the conflict of interest. 1. In the lead please, delete:

Sridhar Ramaswamy, born in 1967, was the Senior Vice President of Ads & Commerce at Google, and is now a Partner at Greylock Partners and Cofounder/CEO of ad-free search startup Neeva.

REPLACE IT WITH:

Sridhar Ramaswamy, born in 1967, is the founder and CEO of startup Neeva, an ad free, privacy-focused search engine. . He previously led Google’s $115 billion advertising arm, Google’s biggest business.

Rationale: Ramaswamy has been profiled at length in The New York Times and Forbes because he founded Neeva to compete with the business at Google that he used to run. This is the most salient fact about him and should lead the profile.

2. Please add an infobox. See flush right of this page for the suggested infobox and fields.

Rationale: Infobox is standard on Wikipedia biographies of living persons.

3. Please add a new section called “Early life and education” and include the following text:

A native of Tamil Nadu, India, Ramaswamy attended IIT Madras. He came to the United States in 1989 and earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Brown University.

Rationale: This follows the best practice for the structure of a biography of a living person.

4. Please add a new section called “Career” and insert the following:

Ramaswany joined Google in 2003 as a mid-level engineer, working on the back-end infrastructure of AdWords and worked his way up the company over the course of 15 years. In 2013, he was promoted to senior vice president of advertising and commerce at Google. .

He left Google in 2018 to become a partner at venture capitalist firm Greylock Partners. In 2019, he created Neeva as an alternative to Google search, after becoming disillusioned with the societal implications of the ad-supported search model. Instead of ads, he created Neeva with a subscription-based model.

Rationale: Career is a standard section in biographies of living persons. These are the major highlights of his career as supported by The New York Times, CNBC, Forbes, and The Information.

5. *Please remove the “notability” tag on the top of the article. The new sources from The New York Times, CNBC, Forbes, and The Information, cited above, resolve it.

Thank you for your help. StandardParrot (talk) 22:34, 2 April 2021 (UTC)


 * ✅ Done. Some of the citations needed minor formatting (removed duplicated reference #6, matched ref names). I also made some language edits and expanded the page using the sources you provided. Thanks, Heartmusic678 (talk) 13:44, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
