Indian School of Development Management (ISDM) got seeded as an idea in early 2016 when its founders came together with a common vision to launch a first-of-its-kind educational institution that would develop and groom the next generation of professional leaders and managers for the development sector. ISDM envisions building Development Management as a stand-alone domain and an aspirational choice for professionals in the development sector.
ONI Impact Thesis
By increasing the supply of talented managers and leaders through its ‘development management’ programmes, ISDM is addressing a key gap in the non-profit sector. If ISDM establishes itself as a landmark institution in management education for the social sector, it can help non-profits improve their everyday management practices, leading to higher impact, increased trust and improved flow of talent and capital into the sector.
