India is being pushed into embracing digital by government and stakeholders like no tomorrow. When a billion+ population jumps on the digital bandwagon, imagine the amount of data and information this would generate and the challenges to manage and derive insights from it.

According to Nasscom, Big data analytics sector in India is expected to witness eight-fold growth to reach $16 billion by 2025 from the current level of $2 billion. This would largely be driven by industries such as manufacturing, retail, financial services, telecom, and healthcare. While IT services and analytics firms in North America currently dominate the global market with their Big Data solutions, companies in emerging markets like India and China are expected to catch up soon with the region becoming a hub for high-end data solutions.

Currently employing over 90,000 people in various data analytics roles, the big data analytics segment would require huge manpower over the next five years.
