Case Study: The Hot Room Indianapolis achieves successful studio launch and expansion with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

The Hot Room Indianapolis - Customer Case Study

The Hot Room Indianapolis, founded by owner Hye Jin Kalgaonkar in Indianapolis, Indiana, wanted to expand a hot yoga and Pilates studio while ensuring the business was financially and operationally sound. SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty helped her review the business plan and address potential barriers before seeking funding, with support from a business plan workshop and mentor guidance.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty provided financial advice through mentor Bob Peck, helped with marketing through mentor Alice Dial, and supported Kalgaonkar in building a stronger team so she could focus on growing the business. As a result, The Hot Room Indianapolis successfully launched its first studio in November 2013 and opened a second location in October 2015, demonstrating clear growth and expansion.
