Over 93,500 data science jobs vacant till August in India, finds Study
Over 93,500 data science jobs were
vacant in India at the end of August 2020, a study conducted by EdTech company
Great Learning said.
Despite
COVID 19, the enthusiasm and optimism around the analytics function continues
to remain high with India contributing 9.8 per cent of the total global
analytics job openings in August 2020 compared to 7.2 per cent in January this
year, it said.
While
the sector did witness a decrease in vacancies (from 109,000 vacancies in
February to 82,500 vacancies in May 2020), the demand has continued to be
fairly consistent across key industry sectors.
The
factors contributing to the increased demand include a year-on-year increase in
funding in Indian analytics startups, investment in the development of enhanced
analytics capabilities in India, and a greater proportion of jobs outsourced to
firms based in India owing to the pandemic, it added.
The
current demand is dominated by MNC and domestic IT & KPO organisations that
are shifting jobs to
India and are recruiting in large numbers.
