Dr Tanaya Narendra is an internationally trained medical doctor, embryologist, and scientist, who is passionate about medical
education.
After studying for a masters at the University of Oxford, she subsequently registered as a doctor in England, and committed to making public medical education her life's goal. She is an elected Fellow of the prestigious Royal Society for Public Health.
For her groundbreaking work in medical education, Tanaya has been awarded Sexual Health Influencer of the Year 2020 by SH24-
the online sexual health partner of the NHS; she was also named among the Top 25 Disruptors of India 2021 by Cosmopolitan, and was selected the Health Influencer of the Year by the IHW Council, supported by the NITI Aayog and Ayushman Bharat.
She is now the most popular medical professional on social media in India. Tanaya runs @Dr_Cuterus, which has garnered over
one million followers on Instagram and over 50 million views on YouTube. She uses fairy tales, mannequins, fun GIFs, and hilariously relatable examples to talk in a jargon-free and scientific manner about complex medical and sexual education topics, all wrapped up with an inclusive and gender-neutral bow. In two years, Tanaya has built a thriving community that provides a safe place where no topic is too
taboo to talk about!
In whatever free time she has left, Tanaya likes to hang out with her rescue dog Samosa, pretends she can read Latin, and scuba dives
and eats her way around the world.
