The present study explores the impact of talent management on economic growth in the IT sector of Uttar Pradesh, focusing on key challenges and emerging opportunities. In today's competitive and knowledge-driven economy, managing human capital effectively has become crucial for sustainable growth, especially in the rapidly growing IT sector of India. This quantitative research is based on primary data collected from 297 IT professionals across major cities of Uttar Pradesh. The study uses structured questionnaires to assess the influence of talent management practices, such as recruitment, training, performance appraisal, succession planning, and retention, on the sector's economic performance. Statistical tools like correlation and regression were employed to test the relationship between talent management and economic growth indicators. The findings reveal that efficient talent management significantly contributes to improved employee productivity, innovation, organisational growth, and regional economic development. However, the study also highlights certain challenges, including skill mismatch, lack of leadership development, and employee attrition, which need to be addressed to maximise the benefits of talent practices. This research is important for policymakers, HR professionals, and business leaders to understand the role of talent management in strengthening the IT ecosystem of Uttar Pradesh. It contributes to the existing body of literature by offering practical insights into how strategic talent management can be a key driver of economic progress in regional industries. The study concludes that continuous investment in people, along with strategic HR planning, is vital for achieving long-term economic growth in the IT sector.
