Why IndiaMedica is run like a hospitality house
Our founder also runs Elevated India, a private luxury travel house. Hospitality is not a department here — it runs through everything, like blood flow.
The House · 7 October 2026 · By Nikhil Sharma, Founder
IndiaMedica was founded by Nikhil Sharma, who also founded and runs Elevated India, a private luxury travel house that designs and runs journeys across India. That shapes how IndiaMedica works. Hospitality is not a department here. It runs through everything, like blood flow.
Medicine is the hospital’s job. Everything else is ours.
Accredited hospitals in India provide the clinical care. What a family travelling for treatment often lacks is everything around it: someone to meet them at the airport, a place to stay that suits their budget and their food, a person who speaks their language and someone to call when a question comes up at night. That is hospitality. It is the daily work of a travel house.
What we bring from Elevated India
- The discipline of running the ground ourselves rather than handing guests to strangers
- A standard of arrival: the right car and the right person, planned and confirmed in advance
- Deep knowledge of India’s hotels, serviced apartments and heritage stays for recovery
- Experience looking after international guests across cultures, diets and faiths
- The habit of discretion — your privacy is a first principle, not a policy
And when the treatment is over
Some patients, once their doctor allows, want to recover somewhere beautiful — the Kerala backwaters, a palace hotel in Rajasthan, a quiet hill station. Because our founder runs Elevated India, our sister house can plan that convalescence with the same care, coordinated with your medical follow-up.
What does not change
Hospitality never overrides medicine. Your treating doctors decide when you can travel, and we plan around their advice — never the other way round.
Doctors treat the patient. We look after the patient and the family around the treatment. Each kind of help stays in its place.
