Biodata[edit]

Can we not find basic biodata (birthdate, birthplace) on Varun Sivaram? MaynardClark (talk) 18:30, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He was born in 1989 in California to Iyengar Sivaram. Business Insider India in 2015 referred to him as 26 years old. That would make him 29 today. ^[1]

His Facebook page^[2] says that he is from Saratoga, California and that he is:

Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at ReNew Power, Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University and Douglas Dillon Fellow at Council on Foreign Relations

which had not been mentioned in the article at this writing. His book page^[3] shares the same information. I would suggest a more robust infobox for this article, an infobox which includes lines for all this data, and mention of key elements of his life story.
