Direct answer
50,000+ Indian-origin physicians practice in the US — one of the largest diaspora medical communities globally. ICG manages marketing for Dr. Rajan Kohli (Family Physician, USA) and Dr. Anshul Gupta (Functional Medicine, USA).
TL;DR
An estimated 50,000+ Indian-origin physicians practice in the United States — one of the largest diaspora medical communities in the world. Many of these physicians operate independent practices or small group practices that face the same digital marketing challenges as Indian clinics: low online visibility, poor Google Reviews infrastructure, and no AEO strategy.
I'm Hanuman Sihag, Head of Innovation Chamber at ICG. ICG manages marketing for Dr. Rajan Kohli (Family Physician, USA) and Dr. Anshul Gupta (Functional Medicine Expert, USA) — two US-based Indian-origin physicians who chose ICG specifically for healthcare marketing specialisation and AI-first approach.
What are the regulatory differences for US healthcare marketing?
US healthcare advertising is governed by the FTC for advertising claims, HIPAA for patient privacy, and individual state medical board regulations. Key differences from India:
- Testimonials are generally permitted (unlike India's grey area) but must be representative of typical outcomes with appropriate disclaimers
- Before/after imagery is permitted on websites but restricted on Google and Meta Ads (same as India)
- Price transparency is encouraged by federal law (Hospital Price Transparency Rule)
- Patient review solicitation is legally complex — HIPAA restricts how you respond to reviews
What digital channels work for US-based Indian physicians?
Google Ads: Highly competitive; CPCs for US healthcare are 5–10x India. ICG builds quality-score-maximised campaigns — every dollar of ad spend must work harder.
SEO + AEO: Enormous opportunity. Dr. Anshul Gupta's functional medicine content, optimised for AIO, appears in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers about functional medicine in the US. This is underexploited — most competitors are not AEO-optimised.
YouTube: Dr. Rajan Kohli's YouTube channel — built and managed by ICG — generates patient consultations at zero CAC through educational health content for the South Asian diaspora community in the US.
South Asian diaspora targeting: Indian-origin physicians benefit from hyper-specific audience targeting: South Asian language interest groups, Indian-origin community organisations, cultural event sponsorships. ICG builds diaspora-specific campaigns alongside English-language mainstream campaigns.
