Ramesh Bhat was born in Kundapur, Karnataka. He completed his primary education at Manki and portrayed national leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru in school day functions. He moved to Bangalore when his father, Rathnakar Rao, migrated there. He later studied at Model High School in Chamarajapet, Bangalore and went on to complete his diploma in mechanical engineering from SJ Polytechnic in Bangalore.

In the 1960s and 1970s, young Ramesh worked with theatre groups like Spandana, Nataranga, and Benaka.
