Ankit Mehrotra
Ankit Mehrotra is a serial entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and CFA charterholder who spent a decade in London before returning to India to build some of its most consequential consumer technology companies. He began his career in investment banking at BNP Paribas, working across investment banking and wealth management, before co-founding Dineout in 2012 alongside Sahil Jain and two colleagues. Over the following decade, he helped scale Dineout into India's largest dining-out and restaurant technology platform, processing more than 100 million diners and $800 million in transaction volume across 50,000 restaurant partners in 34 cities. Swiggy acquired Dineout in 2022 for $200 million.
In parallel with building Dineout, Mehrotra became an active angel investor and mentor, backing early-stage startups across electric vehicles, food and beverage, healthcare technology, sports technology, and mental health. His portfolio reflects a consistent interest in platforms addressing access gaps and consumer trust challenges in emerging markets — themes that would directly inform his next venture.
In 2024, Mehrotra co-founded The Medical Travel Company (TMTC) with Sahil Jain to disrupt the $100 billion global medical tourism industry. As Co-Founder, he leads technology development and the company's operational strategy, bringing the same consumer trust-building playbook from Dineout to a healthcare context where trust is even more consequential. TMTC offers UK patients fully managed treatment pathways at globally accredited Indian hospitals, maintained under continuous UK doctor oversight, with personalised aftercare and a groundbreaking post-surgery insurance policy valid on their return home.
The company raised $4.5 million in October 2025 in a seed round led by Nexus Venture Partners, with 4CAST — the athlete collective co-founded by Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer — among the investors. TMTC was named to the Forbes India DGEMS 2025 Select 200 list and is targeting expansion across the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe over the next three to five years.
