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.
