FOUNDER
Hello Applicants! I’m Dr. Tanishq Kesani, an Incoming Family Medicine PGY-1 and a graduate of Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada.
As an IMG, I’ve walked the long, often overwhelming road to residency — and I know how tough it can be. That’s exactly why I launched StepsEasy — to make the journey easier, clearer, and more supportive for others like me.
Through personalised guidance, I’m here to help you confidently move forward — one step at a time.

I matched into Paediatrics in my very first cycle — not because I had perfect scores, but because I gave my best to every part of the process.
In the Match, every detail matters- from your CV to your personal statement, interviews to signal choices.
I've always been passionate about children's health with a inclination for writing and traveling.
I'm excited to bring my experiences and mentorship to StepsEasy, inspiring the next generation of IMGs, showing them that no mountain is too high when pursuing their medical dreams.
