Lifesupporters Institute of Health Sciences

What Lifesupporters Institute of Health Sciences does

Lifesupporters Institute of Health Sciences (LIHS) is a Mumbai-based non-profit healthcare training organisation founded in 2005, operating as an authorised International Training Center of the American Heart Association (AHA) for BLS, ACLS, PALS, and related emergency-care certifications. The institute delivers ~29 courses spanning life support, trauma, airway management, ECG, NRP, first aid, and chronic-disease education (including a Diabetes Educator Course), supported by three simulation labs (ACLS, Trauma, Airway) and a multinational faculty drawn from the US, UK, Australia, and Israel. Curriculum authority is reinforced through institutional partnerships with P D Hinduja Hospital (clinical site), AIIMS (ATLS delivery), TISS School of Vocational Education (accredited vocational certification), ITLS (trauma curriculum), and NSDC's Healthcare Sector Skill Council (HSSC) for skill-council recognition.

The business model is a direct-to-consumer, in-person training operation based at the Mumbai facility, with course-fee revenue per delegate supplemented by corporate and institutional workshops tied to NABH/JCI hospital accreditation requirements. Go-to-market is website-driven enrolment with no disclosed digital channel, app, or platform layer. Over 20+ years the institute has trained approximately 140,397 delegates and conducted 1,000+ AHA workshops, indicating a high-volume, low-ticket, long-tail customer base rather than concentrated enterprise contracts. Revenue is not disclosed and the entity operates as a non-profit with no funding rounds; strategic growth has been pursued through partnership accumulation and curriculum breadth rather than capital-led expansion or geographic scaling.
