Hello Krishna, I have not seen any "official" statement of the proper ratio. But I did read an article that said, in general, an organization should have one tech writer per eight developers or engineers. Asking around my STC chapter and in tech writing classes, it seems that one writer per 15 to 30 developers or engineers is more common. At my company, I am the lone writer supporting 80 developers.
