The Medical Travel Company, a UK-India startup founded in 2024, has raised $4.5 million in seed funding to simplify medical tourism between the two countries. The funding round was led by Nexus Venture Partners, with contributions from Kriscore Capital, 4CAST, a sports led investment group co-founded by cricketers Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, KL Rahul and several angel investors.

The startup was launched by Ankit Mehrotra and Sahil Jain, who previously built and sold the popular restaurant platform Dineout. The company aims to address long waiting times for elective procedures in the UK by connecting patients to accredited hospitals in India offering quicker, affordable, and high quality care.

Sahil Jain, Co-Founder and CEO of Medical Travel Company, explained, “With millions in the UK waiting for elective treatments, timely access to healthcare has become critical. We want to ensure seamless care from UK doctors to Indian hospitals and back”.

The Medical Travel Company offers a full service platform, including UK based medical oversight, treatment by internationally trained doctors in India, and a 12 month post-surgery insurance policy valid in the UK.
