Career
Acting career
Ram made his acting debut through his home production, Athithi directed by Bharathan. The film received mixed reviews and performed poorly at the box office, with his performance garnering mixed reviews. Deccan Chronicle noted "Debutant Nikesh Ram with his unkempt looks fits the bill and is convincing in a negative role". Silverscreen.com's reviewers wrote that Ram "looks the part in dark shirts, chinos and thick-rimmed glasses, but is unconvincing otherwise. His lines sound contrived and forced and don't sound like someone trying to scare the daylights out of you".
Ram appeared in a cameo role in Vishnu's Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaaran (2016) . His first Malayalam movie released in 2018 titled Mazhayathu directed by Suveeran. Ram is acting as hero in this movie along with actress Aparna Gopinath. The Times of India mentioned his acting as "Nikesh Ram puts on a decent performance as a stubborn husband and a doting dad". Mangalam News Paper said "Nikesh Ram did a good job and he could easily satisfy the role of Venugopal in the way it is required".
Ram starred in Michaelpatty Raja (2021) directed by Francis S.
Business career
During August 2021, Ram was honored by the UAE government with the UAE Golden Visa for 10 years. Ram appeared in Khaleej Times BTR Magazine Cover Page as a successful businessman in UAE in Facility Management Industry.
