Abstract: This paper, an extract from research on TM practices in Indian business organisations, aims to present the High Potential Talent Development Practice and the inferred theoretical inspirations that seem to guide its conception. It attempts to delineate the practice into two parts – Intent and Design. While Intent is the purpose of instituting the practice, design indicates the kind of interventions. The findings in each part are correlated with existent theories and approaches. It also looks at the alignment of the practice with learning principles and the assumptions under which it is implemented. Examining the practice thus led to a model that indicates the critical theoretical influences on the same and as well highlighted its prevalence and context based suitability. This paper offers researchers and practitioners an insight into the existing ways of TD in the Indian context and also the need for a fresh look into its design and content to make it more enriching for both organizations and talent..
