Profile
Bikram is a partner at Blu Venture Investors and serves on the Cyber Seed and Cyber Fund investment committees.
He is a seasoned CEO, innovator, and entrepreneur with multiple exits experience.
From 2014 to 2017, he was CEO of Optum Govt and Optum International and a member of the executive leadership team at United Health Group (UHG).
From 2007 to 2014, he was president and CEO of QSSI, a health technology business that grew from under $10M in revenues to over $150M under his leadership.
Bikram led the sale of QSSI to UHG/Optum in 2012 and subsequently spearheaded the turnaround of healthcare.gov.

Bikram holds an MBA from the Wharton School of Business, currently serves on the Entrepreneurship Advisory Board for Wharton, and is a named inventor of 13 US patents.
As an early-stage investor, Bikram is driven by the same qualities as being an entrepreneur: being a leader of change, taking outsized risks, and seeking outsized returns.
He is most interested in cyber and health technologies and looks for startups with cohesive teams, product-market fit, market traction, and strategic exit opportunities.
