Jigsaw Academy’s Releases Salary Report for the Indian Analytics Industry
Bangalore, India (PRWEB) May 20, 2014 -- The report states that cities like Bangalore and Delhi/NCR continue to be the hubs for Analytics companies in India. Mumbai continues to offer the highest salaries because of its high cost of living, Bangalore and Delhi/ NCR are the hubs for analytics jobs. They have the highest number of analytics companies and analytics jobs with salaries in the range of Rs 11 lakhs. Analytics salaries in Hyderabad and Pune are 20% lower in comparison to larger metro cities. The average analytics salary in India is 11.1 lakhs.
In addition, the type of company worked for, the city lived in and the analytic tools worked on, can impact remuneration considerably. Compensation at captive centers, which deal with locked-in clients for longer time periods typically offer higher salaries for analysts. Niche service providers who move analysts across multiple industries and clients offer lower salaries, but give the analyst a richer resume opportunity.
Commenting on the findings of the survey, Mr. Gaurav Vohra, CEO, Jigsaw Academy – The Online School of Analytics said, “The Data Analytics and Big Data buzz has far from died down and the demand for trained analytics and big data professionals is increasing at a tremendous rate. Though many say Big Data is just hype, the reality is that companies are investing big time in Big Data initiatives and are willing to pay big bucks for the right talent. In India, Big Data is just about picking up. Companies especially in the finance, retail and e-commerce sectors are relying more heavily on big data to make decisions that impact their sales, operations and workforce. There is such a dearth of Big Data talent that these companies are willing to pay high salaries for the right skill set."
The year 2013 saw a significant rise in Data Analytics and Big Data initiatives across all sectors in India. Finance, telecom, ecommerce and retail sectors showed higher investments in data related tools and technologies. Industries like healthcare, auto and manufacturing also increased their data related spend and Hiring picked up considerably.
