Where Work Meets Purpose
India's social sector is solving some of the country's most complex challenges. At ISDM, we build the leadership and institutional capacity that helps social purpose organisations create impact at scale. This mission is only possible when the people behind it are able to thrive. That’s why we have consciously built ISDM as a place where faculty and researchers, program teams and practitioners, and the operational teams that hold everything together can do their most thoughtful and ambitious work.
What we offer is rare: the space to think, the freedom to experiment, room for debate and dissent, and a culture that takes individual growth as seriously as the work itself. For those who want their work to matter, and to be part of an institution where it matters to others too, you’ll feel at home at ISDM.
The Values That Shape Our Workplace
The same care we bring to the sector shapes how we work with each other. These commitments define what it means to be part of ISDM.
Policies That Put People First
Unlimited Leave
Take the time you need, when you need it. We trust our people to know what their lives require.
Flexibility for real lives
Hybrid schedules, considered working hours, and a recognition of people’s lives, families, and commitments outside work.
Investment in your growth
Learning budgets, mentorship, and dedicated time for the development of every person on the team.
The Lived Experience
Working at ISDM is intellectually demanding, emotionally invested, and — most days — quietly rewarding. It asks for depth more than breadth, and a willingness to sit with hard questions for a long time. The people here have chosen it for different reasons, but what they share is a sense that it's worth giving their best to.
