Fertility super specialist. Teacher of specialists. Voice of the profession. Founder of Kalpa Clinic.
For more than two decades, Dr. Chaitra Nayak — MBBS, MS (ObGyn), FnB (Reproductive Medicine) — has been one of Bengaluru’s most trusted names in fertility care. Few fertility clinics anywhere are led by a nationally board-certified super specialist; fewer still by a clinician who writes the textbooks, trains the trainers, and holds elected office in India’s premier fertility society. These are the events and milestones behind every consultation at Kalpa Clinic.

A Voice the Profession Elects
Secretary, Indian Fertility Society — Karnataka Chapter
April 2024 – April 2026 • Bengaluru
Dr. Chaitra was invested as Secretary of the Indian Fertility Society’s Karnataka Chapter, taking office alongside her lifelong mentor, Padma Shri Dr. Kamini Rao, and IFS National President Dr. Pankaj Talwar. The position places her at the centre of the state’s scientific programming, training standards and ethical practice in fertility medicine — a recognition by peers reserved for the field’s most respected clinicians.
On the National Stage
Fertivision 2025
At Fertivision, the Indian Fertility Society’s flagship national conference, Dr. Chaitra served as invited faculty — delivering a talk on follicular asynchrony and teaching at a hands-on workshop for practising fertility specialists. When India’s fertility community gathers to learn, Dr. Chaitra is on the teaching side of the podium.
“The surest measure of mastery is being asked to teach it. Dr. Chaitra is the doctor other doctors learn from.”

From an IFS deep-dive on AMH interpretation, to a hands-on workshop on male infertility at the IMA Hall in Bengaluru, to a panel on regenerative medicine in reproductive care in New Delhi — Dr. Chaitra’s faculty calendar spans the full breadth of modern fertility practice.
Beyond Borders
A Global Footprint
Expertise that is sought across continents — from a fertility camp in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to scientific exchange in Tanzania with UK-based consultant embryologist Dr. Bryan J. Woodward, BSc, MMedSci, PhD, FRCPath — keeping Kalpa Clinic connected to global best practice.
The Entrepreneur
The Kalpa Story
In October 2022, after senior consultant roles at India’s leading fertility institutions — Milann and Cloudnine — Dr. Chaitra took the entrepreneur’s leap and founded Kalpa Clinic in J.P. Nagar, Bengaluru: a private, inclusive space where care is personal, evidence-based and free of commercial pressure. It began the way all good beginnings do in India — with an invocation to Lord Ganesha.
Alongside the clinic, Dr. Chaitra founded myivfdoctor.com — an educational platform that gives couples honest, jargon-free answers about their fertility journey, born of her conviction that misinformation leads to unnecessary treatment, expense and heartbreak.
Recognition
Honours & Milestones

Best Fertility Team — Five Years in a Row
Milann • 2014 – 2019
As senior consultant, Dr. Chaitra was part of the team rated the best fertility team five consecutive years — a sustained standard of excellence, not a one-off accolade.
Award-Winning Research
RCOG World Congress 2021 • J Hum Reprod Sci 2022
Dr. Chaitra’s study comparing progesterone-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) with the GnRH antagonist protocol in oocyte donation cycles ranked among the top-scoring abstracts of the RCOG World Congress 2021 and was published in the Journal of Human Reproduction Sciences (2022). Her earlier work on G-CSF for refractory thin endometrium was presented at the ISAR National Conference in 2014. Research is not a sideline at Kalpa Clinic — it is the standard of care.
