Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Tanu grew up in Andaman but moved to Bengaluru for work. It was there that she made friends with YouTube. “With no friends around, many channels on YouTube became my refuge.” When she moved back to Andaman, YouTube had become a big part of her life. So, she decided to start her journey as a YouTube creator, and launched her own channel, Tropical Penguin. Her channel is all about DIY home remedies for skin care and hair care, with a special focus on tips for curly hair. As a child, she was often teased about her curls. This led her to experiment with DIY hair care hacks. Over the years she collected a treasure trove of beauty tips for curly hair, which she now publishes through videos on her channel. Today, with a growing base of subscribers, Tanu is often approached by brands to get their products reviewed. What began as an ordinary friendship between Tanu and YouTube, transformed into an extraordinary partnership.
