Dineut Founders Ankit Mehrotra and Sahil Jain have raised USD 4.5 million in seed funding for a UK and India-based startup designed to transform the Medical Tourism sector. The funding round was led by Krismore Capital and Nexus Venture partners with participation from international cricketers Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Kl Rahul, co-founders of sportsman LED’s LED investment collective, Kl Rahul.
A medical travel company is trying to tap into the void in the $100 billion global medical tourism market, starting in the UK. The company connects patients to accredited Indian hospitals offering faster, affordable and high quality treatment.
The funding will be used to scale operations, strengthen digital patient management systems and forge partnerships with hospitals across India. Initially targeting the UK, the company plans to expand to other markets over the next four years, including the US, Canada, Australia and Europe.
In June 2025, around 7.7 million people in England are on waiting lists for elective treatments across orthopaedics, dental, ivf and other specialties. With rising costs and long delays, around 500,000 UK residents travel abroad for medical care each year. The medical travel company model aims to simplify this experience by trusting it, offering internationally accredited doctors, internationally accredited doctors, surgical origin insurance and concierge-style support on the patient journey.
“Medical tourism is a broken industry: when patients return home, they face hidden costs and zero support,” said Sahil Jain, co-founder and CEO, a medical travel company. “We provide real continuity across borders, UK doctors, pre- and post-treatment attendants, this is not medical tourism – this is medical advocacy.”
Ankit Mehrotra, co-founder, medical travel company, “We’re not just disrupting medical tourism; we’re reinventing it. With our measurement expertise, we’re building the infrastructure for borderless healthcare.”
Nexus Venture partners Partner Poddar, “Medical tourism marketplace,” Medical tourism marketplace is a fully-stacked model of a large untapped value and medical travel company.
Added Nilesh Balakrishnan, Krismore Capital, “Ankit and Sahil are addressing one of the most pressing global health issues while demonstrating India’s capabilities on the world stage.”
Ben Stokes, founder of 4cast and England test captain, said: “We are delighted to invest in a medical travel company. This partnership reflects our aim to give back to visionary founders who make a meaningful impact.” Kl Rahul, co-founder of 4cast, said, “Growing up in India, I witnessed first-hand the progress of public health.
