ANALYTICS SALARIES
ACROSS INDUSTRIES
We notice a wide range of median analytics salaries across the sectors. So,
while telecom has the highest median salaries in analytics at 18.6 Lakhs, media
& entertainment has the least median salaries for analytics professionals at 10.3
Lakhs. This is a very wide range (higher variances) in terms of median salaries.
Salaries within an industry is affected broadly by two indicators - the rate of adoption
of that technology within that industry and the relative value that the industry garners
from the technology. A higher adoption rate would signify a relative stabilisation of
resources and processes which in turn would cause a dip in salaries. Industries that
have recently adopted analytics would also see a skew towards higher senior level
professionals vis-à-vis other industry, thus pushing the median salaries higher.
For eg: Banking industry is among the earliest adopters of analytics in India. It is also
by far the biggest recruiter of analytics professionals in India. The salaries in Banking
for analytics professionals currently stands at the lower spectrum in median terms.
Eventually, this salary variance across industries should reduce as adoption
increases over time.

ANALYTICS TOOLS
Salaries across tools is primarily a function on the demand for that tool.
Within data science industry, the demand for tools changes rapidly and this
is evident across the technology stack. So, for statistical analysis there is a
shift towards open source tools. Also Python is gaining more prominence
in recent years. Demand for Big data tools has also moved. Recent trend
is to move away from Hadoop. Visualization tools are even more volatile in
demand.

COMPANY TYPE
Essentially, five types of organizations recruit data scientists in India and its
important to look at salaries for all these company types. Firstly, captive centers
are GIC’s for large MNC’s, setup in India to utilize skillsets available in the country.
Analytics forms one of the core areas that these captive centers work on.
Secondly, consulting firms (Big Four etc.) also provide analytics consultancy and
this can be either to domestic market or to the global clients with delivery centers
in India. Thirdly, domestic Indian firms setup analytics units for internal usage
companywide. Think of it as the end user of analytics from India perspective.
Fourth, large IT service providers have setup analytics competencies and
provide services to global clients around analytics. Fifth, boutique analytics firms
specialize in analytics and provide services around it to the clients.
• Captive analytics centers continue this year by almost 10%. This has

EDUCATION LEVEL
Analytics recruiters prefer PhDs and premier institutes. This is true with
other professions as well, yet with analytics industry there is certainly a
higher demand for PhD professionals that take up roles of data scientists.
Almost 60% of analytics workforce in India have a masters degree and 7% of
workforce is from premier undergrad or postgrad institution. PhD’s form just
1% of analytics workforce.
Also, there seems to be a preference for professionals that have taken a
formal education in analytics in recent years. More so, professionals that
have spent atleast a year in analytics education either in full time or part
time setting as these professionals have a broader understating of various
facets of analytics and data science.

CONCLUSION
IT service providers, that primarily provides services to
analytics clients across the globe showed a downward trend
over the last one year. The study suggests that IT firms have
been affected the most and analytics salaries have gone down
drastically. As opposed to the earlier years where IT service
providers claimed one of the larger portions of analytics salary,
IT firms provided the lowest analytics salaries in India, this year.
The median salaries have decreased this year by almost 10%.
This can be largely attributed to the overall negative impact
on IT sector (such as automation), and increased attrition rate
in IT space.
