Episode 225: Hema Sai Kishore & Mangesh Mane + Eureka Kids

This week on the podcast we chatted with local entrepreneurs Hema Sai Kishore and Mangesh Mane, Founders of Eureka Kids, a childcare center that opened its doors in northwest Rochester in July 2018. Eureka Kids was developed out of a need these entrepreneurs saw in the community for more childcare options, especially ones focused on multiculturalism and diversity. Today on the show we talk with this husband and wife team about how they balance family life with full time jobs at Mayo Clinic and their work at Eureka Kids, the buildout and launch of the childcare center in the community, navigating 2020, what keeps drawing them back to this type of work, and much more.
