As analytics as a discipline becomes more entrenched across domains, especially in India’s financial services sector, organisations and high-growth startups are going on a hiring spree.

Our recent study found out that there has been an overall growth in the number of jobs in analytics and data science ecosystem with India contributing to 6% of open job openings worldwide. The total number of analytics and data science job positions available are 97,000. Out of these, 97% job openings in India are on a full-time basis while 3% are part-time or contractual.
On the skill side, as more companies bolster their analytics capabilities, they are aggressively hiring professionals with sound technical knowledge. A key takeaway is that the analytics and data science talent supply will not be able to keep pace with job growth.
Here’s how you can apply to the course.
