Bibliometric Analysis of Talent Management in the Indian Insurance Sector

Talent management is a critical area of focus in the Indian insurance sector, which is experiencing exponential rise, competition, and transformation. This bibliometric analysis aims to provide a detailed understanding of the intellectual structure, thematic trends, and performance patterns in the academic literature on this topic. Using analytical tools and science mapping methodologies, the study synthesizes insights from 25 high-quality, peer-reviewed research articles published between 2014 and 2024. These articles/papers highlight key contributions from prominent authors, institutions, and journals, while uncovering thematic clusters such as employee retention strategies, technological integration in HR practices, and public versus private sector dynamics. The analysis points to a regular growth in research outcomes, driven by the sector's challenges such as high attrition rates, talent shortages, and the integration of digital tools in workforce management. It also identifies emerging trends like AI-driven HR analytics and workplace engagement practices as essential in addressing talent-related issues. However, gaps persist in areas like regional disparities, cross-sectoral comparisons, and the impact of cultural factors on HR practices. By resolving these disparities, this bibliometric analysis offers practical recommendations for practitioners and establishes a groundwork for future research on effective talent management strategies in the Indian insurance industry.
