Balram Bhargava was born in 1961 in Lucknow.[2] He did his schooling from La Martiniere College, Lucknow.

Social activities
Bhargava is reported as a biomedical program administrator from AIIMS Delhi.[4][5]
Bhargava along with Alok Ray from IIT Delhi under the leadership of then Department of Biotechnology secretary Maharaj Kishan Bhan, initiated the Indian chapter of the Stanford Biodesign and was its co-executive director (India). The organization had set goals to promote innovators of medical technology through fellowships and also to conduct internships and events related to the area. The system was supported by AIIMS, New Delhi and has Stanford University, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) and the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India as partners. Stanford India Biodesign program ended in 2013.[5]
Since 2008, he has been working with Biodesign Fellows Srinivas Juggu, Jayant Karve and Amit Sharma on a project trying to develop a chest compression device. If this succeeds it will be useful for patients suffering sudden cardiac arrests.[6]
Bhargava has spoken up about the need for better regulation in medical testing.[7][8] He is one of the team of twelve doctors from India who plan to establish the Society for Less Investigative Medicine (SLIM),[9] an initiative that hopes to combat the excessive commercial practices prevalent in India. SLIM is in the making since 2015 and the members hoped to start activities by 2016. The members of SLIM, when it is established, plan to work towards raising public awareness against the trend of unnecessary tests and excessive medical investigations.[7][8][10]
Bhargava has attended many international conferences and seminars where he speaks about a cardiac stent he claims to have invented.[11][12]
