1. Numbers can be deceptive. Most of these companies were already existing and few either incorporated analytics as a line of business or adopted analytics as their primary business
2. Burgeoning demand for analytics seeing an increase in pure play analytics firms
3. Growing players in the value chain: training companies, recruitment and consulting firms
