I Profile
Trained as a doctor.
Went on to build.
Dr. Albin Jose is the founder and chief executive of MedVenture Holdings, a group of seven companies based in Tbilisi, Georgia. He trained as a physician in Tbilisi and never entered practice. He stayed in the city and built the group there. It now operates in eight countries and is still run from Tbilisi.
“Solve real problems,” he told Entrepreneur Georgia, rather than chase trends. He wants each new company to close the gap between a premium experience and what an ordinary person can afford. Forbes Georgia profiled him and the group in November 2026.

III Vision & mission
Vision
To become one of the most trusted multinational business groups connecting Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, through innovation, quality and sustainable growth.
Mission
To build internationally recognised businesses that deliver exceptional customer experiences, while creating meaningful opportunities for people, partners and communities through innovation, integrity and operational excellence.
IV The build
One company at a time.
2020
MedVenture Holdings founded
Travo International launches as the first company: inbound tourism into Georgia, built on the Gulf and South Asian markets he already knew. The group grows from it.
2021
MedWizard Education
Students were already coming to Georgia for medicine, badly served. MedWizard took over admissions, relocation and everything after arrival.
2023
Medventa Residences
Those students needed somewhere to live that a family would agree to. Three four-star properties in Saburtalo, women only.
2024
Meloc, M’s Kitchen and Mevora
Three companies open in one year: Meloc, a smart-lock brand Georgia could call its own; M’s Kitchen, which feeds the residences the group had just filled; and Mevora, a hospitality arm built on what Medventa had learned.
2025
On the record
Entrepreneur Georgia profiles the group in October, with Meloc as the headline: the country’s first homegrown smart lock brand.
2026
MV Drive
The seventh company opens a vehicle route from China to Georgia. A Georgian assembly unit for Meloc enters development the same year.
2026
Forbes Georgia
Forbes Georgia publishes “A Second Home” on Dr. Albin Jose and MedVenture Holdings in November.
V Doctrine
Three rules the group is built on.
01
Create the category.
Meloc and Medventa each built a market that did not exist in Georgia: branded smart living, and premium student housing run around safety. Arriving first is the position, and everything else is defence.
02
Georgia outward.
Baku and Tashkent were opened from Tbilisi and are still managed from Tbilisi. The staff, the leases and the supply relationships sit in Georgia, and so do the decisions about them.
03
Own the chain.
A student recruited by MedWizard lives in a Medventa residence and eats at M’s Kitchen. One relationship, won once, is served by several companies for years. The ventures work as one system.
Built in the Caucasus. Run from its capital.

MV Drive
Automotive · 2026
The group's entry into the automotive industry. It imports Chinese vehicles into Georgia, with the aim of making the country a distribution hub for the Caucasus and Central Asia. Vehicles are sold through an online showroom in Georgian, English and Russian, and MV Drive is building a wholesale and retail network that connects manufacturers with these markets.
CorridorChina to Georgia
VIII Market creation
Georgia had no smart home market. Meloc created one.
Before Meloc the category was fragmented and import-dependent, with no local name. Meloc now sells through its own showrooms in Georgia and into Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. A Georgian assembly unit is in development, which would make it the first smart home product built in the country.
