Ankit Bathla was born on October 10, 1988, in New Delhi, India, to Mugdha Bathla and Anil Kumar Bathla. He grew up in Delhi and attended Saint Mark's Senior Secondary Public School in Meera Bagh.
Before entering entertainment, Bathla worked as a trainer with American Express. His early professional experience in a corporate environment preceded his transition to acting and modeling.
Bathla completed his schooling at Saint Mark's Senior Secondary Public School in Meera Bagh, Delhi. He later studied Economics at Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, a constituent college of the University of Delhi with a specialist emphasis on commerce, economics, and business education, and graduated with an honors degree.
His academic training in economics preceded a career that moved from corporate training into television acting, modeling, hosting, and screen performance.

In late 2014 he joined Ajab Gajab Ghar Jamai as Krishna, and in 2015 he appeared in Halla Bol and the mythological series Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman.
Bathla became widely associated with the role of Dhruv Pandey in Thapki Pyar Ki, which he played from 2015 to 2017 on Colors TV. During this period he also hosted the fourth-season finale of Benadryl Big Golden Voice and worked in advertising campaigns for Bharti Airtel and Maruti Suzuki Ritz.
