Abstract: Abstract In recent years, the Indian Information Technology sector has witnessed a remarkable increase in participation of women employees and with this rise opportunities for growth have also increased alongside gender-based challenges that influence intentions of leaving or staying in the organization. The current study aims to provide theoretical insights into the interaction of agility with female IT professional’s experiences for shaping turnover intentions. Adaptability, resilience and proactiveness are included in the concepts of agility which enable employees to provide prompt responses to dynamic environments and to become change-friendly. However, there is a need to understand the interaction of different factors with the turnover intentions of female employees. This study utilizes a multidimensional theoretical framework consisting of perspectives from human resource management, gender studies, organizational behavior and culture to analyze theories and shreds of evidence based on past research for creating links between employee agility and turnover intentions. It discloses risks associated with work intensification and the significance of flexible policies for the career advancement and retention of women. Ultimately, leveraging agility for the promotion of inclusivity and gender equality calls for structural and cultural changes through holistic, context-specific organizational strategies and national policies emphasizing work-life balance.
