Co-LIFE brings together higher education institutions (HEIs) across Europe and India to co-design innovative learning pathways in impact-focused entrepreneurship (IFE). Through this collaboration, we are building an ecosystem that equips students and educators in four Indian HEIs with modern curricula, practical learning tools, and pedagogy designed to inspire real-world change.
Our goal is to nurture future entrepreneurs who can take on today’s most urgent challenges—creating meaningful livelihoods, strengthening communities, and driving sustainable growth. By connecting expertise between India and the EU, Co-LIFE is shaping a cross-continental network committed to inclusive, responsible, and environmentally conscious enterprise.
Together, we’re co-creating a future driven by innovation, sustainability, and impact.

The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM) was established in 2016 to Re-imagine Management for Social Change. The institution is founded on the premise that Management can act as a leverage for scale, sustainability, and social impact. To address the inherent complexities of the social sector, development management at ISDM is imagined differently from mainstream business management, public administration, or social work.
Using an ecosystem approach, ISDM endeavors to harness the collective wisdom and experiences of individuals and institutions from the State, Market, and Civil Society to adapt, adopt, assess, and create management principles, frameworks, and tools relevant to the development sector and thereby address the knowledge-talent-capacity of social purpose organizations and impact-focused enterprises in India. For Co-LIFE, ISDM anchors Work Package 2 on Need Analysis, Landscape Study, and Curriculum Design.
