Pride Month continues to spotlight voices from the LGBTQIA+ community. Dr Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju, 27, stands at the intersection of advocacy, visibility, and impact. A medical doctor by training and one of the first transgender doctors in India to gain a substantial digital following, Trinetra is using her platform to reshape how the country sees gender, identity, and inclusion.

With over 275,000 followers on Instagram and a growing presence in public discourse, Trinetra's work goes beyond content creation. She actively engages in social commentary, legal reform, and public health narratives—bringing trans rights and representation into mainstream conversations.
