On: The Cost of My Mother’s Cardiac Care in the United States and India

Looks like there's a good opportunity for medical tourism in India. Maybe it's a startup idea?

There are companies which do this. One hospital I visited has a dedicated office for medical tourists (mostly Arabs). I have no idea how useful the office is, I just went in like an Indian.

For lawsuit-related reasons, I'd avoid doing such a startup myself. The US is lawsuit happy - a purely India-based operation would have a competitive advantage over me.

Of course, I think this is an idea that Indian based startups can pursue.

If anyone in Pune is interested, I'll be there in October and will be happy to offer free advice (worth every rupee) on handling the US side.

I'd love to pick your brains about this. Have sent you an email. Thanks.
