Ruchi Sanghvi Biography

Ruchi Sanghvi is one of the most popular and richest Engineer who was born on January 20, 1982 in Pune, United States. Ruchi Sanghvi, a computer engineer from India, was born 20 January 1982. She was the first female engineer to be hired by Facebook. She quit Facebook in late 2010 and started her own company, Cove, along with two co-founders. In 2012, the company was sold to Dropbox and Sanghvi became VP of Operations at Dropbox. In October 2013, she left Dropbox.

Sanghvi was a key contributor to the initial version of Facebook’s News Feed product. It launched in September 2006. She also wrote the blog post that announced its launch. The first news feed was an algorithmically generated summary that constantly refreshed with updates about friends’ activities. Twitter launched the service only months before it was popular.

Sanghvi was awarded a TechFellow “Best Engineering Leadership Award” in 2011 for her work at Facebook.

In an interview with Mint in November 2013, Sanghvi described her involvement with FWD.us as follows: “Silicon Valley is a very idealistic society. So FWD.us is a mission to step down from the idealistic world and do some real work. The mission is to boost the knowledge economy. Immigration is only one part of it, the other part of it is to figure out bipartisan policies to help include STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) studies in the education system. Immigration is a really hot topic and I am very satisfied with the senate Bill. I am hopeful that immigration reform will pass, even though right now Washington is divided.”

Sanghvi was appointed product lead for Facebook Platform in 2006.
