Arvind Swamy was born in Tamil Nadu. His parents were industrialist VD Swamy and Bharatanatyam dancer Vasanta Swamy. Swami attended Sishya School and later attended Don Bosco Matriculation Higher Secondary School and completed schooling in 1987. He then graduated in business from Loyola College, Chennai in 1990. He went to the US to pursue Masters in International Business from Wake Forest University in North Carolina.
As a child, Swamy never wanted to become an actor or join his father's business. Instead, he wanted to become a doctor. When he joined the Loyola Theater Society, he was not welcomed and asked to get off the stage. Mani Ratnam saw an advertisement and called him for a meeting and Mani Ratnam and Santosh Sivan familiarized him with the basics of filmmaking.
Swamy married Gayatri Ramamurthy in 1994 and has a daughter, Adhia (born 1996) and a son Rudra (born 2000). However, these two spouses were separated for seven years from 2010, when they filed for divorce. Now Arvind Swami lives with his children.
