Abstract Recently, though the Indian IT services sector cheers the recent spurt in demand, yet the companies are faced with the challenge of rising attrition levels as employees look to tap the new opportunities now available in the marketplace. Although there are nearly 50 research studies available on attrition intentions of western software professionals, yet we are not aware of any research specifically addressing the problem of attrition intentions among Indian IT professionals. Hence this study aims to explore the various factors that influence the Indian IT professionals’ intention to quit their current jobs. This study was conducted among the software professionals employed in various leading IT organizations located at Chennai metropolitan City, India. It was found from the analysis that the factors such as Role Conflict, Career Accommodation and Supervisor's Feedback, Role Ambiguity, Promotion, Satisfaction, Fairness of Individual Rewards, Leader Member Exchange, Work Schedule Flexibility, Work exhaustion and Job Security greatly influence the attrition intentions of the software professionals in Indian IT organizations.
