Vimla Batham was born at Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh in a traditional Vaish business family.

She had an arranged marriage with Roop Narayan Batham of Kanpur & moved to Delhi. Here, she was a homemaker & did her second MA (in Fine Arts). A few years down the line, the young couple decided to turn entrepreneurs. As Roop Batham was in a Govt. job, the responsibility of running the business fell on Vimla. They set up a Printing Press at sector 6, Noida in 1981, publishing Art Journals & doing small print jobs. Gradually, she bought big sized printing machines for printing cartons. Gradually, she forayed into the corrugated carton industry, setting up units at sector 80 & sector 58, Noida.

This bye-election was held when Mahesh Sharma vacated the seat after winning the 15th Lok Sabha elections. Before being named as the candidate for Noida-61 constituency, she has held many important posts at the district & State levels in the BJP organization.
