Meet the Founder
Utkarsh Kolhe
Founder & CEO
Medical tourism, done responsibly, is one of the most meaningful forms of care that can be extended across borders. I have always believed this work has to be patient-first by structure — auditable, accountable, human — not patient-first only in marketing copy. That belief is the architecture of Earth Abroad.
— Utkarsh Kolhe
Utkarsh founded Earth Abroad on a single conviction: that international healthcare deserves the same discipline and accountability that the best industries apply to themselves. Where the medical tourism market has historically optimised for enquiries and volume, he believes the next era of this industry belongs to operators who can be measured on patient outcomes.
That conviction sits on a deliberate academic foundation — a Bachelor's in Travel & Tourism Management from Amity University, an MSc in Responsible Tourism Management from Leeds Beckett University in the UK, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Tourism from Symbiosis International University, Pune. In 2026 he qualified as a GSTC-certified auditor for the Hotels Industry Standard — the global benchmark for sustainable-tourism compliance. He also sits on the Tourism & Hospitality Committee of MACCIA.
Earth Abroad is the operating expression of those standards: a facilitation company built around accountability to the patient, not around volume.

How We Operate
We are not a directory. We are a care coordinator.
Most medical tourism platforms list hospitals and step away. We do the opposite — we stay with you.
Trust by design.
Only JCI- and NABH-accredited hospitals. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
One point of contact.
The person who answers your first message is still with you ninety days after treatment.
Radical transparency.
Every cost, every inclusion, every limitation — disclosed upfront in writing.
Structured clinical intake.
Every case is triaged with the same rigour a hospital would apply.
Built-in compliance.
Visa, legal, insurance, and consent — embedded into the journey, not handed back to the patient.
Outcome over volume.
We measure ourselves on completed, successful cases. Not enquiries. Not leads.
