SCOPE
Scope of Big Data In India : The Future is Bright

“In God we trust, all others must bring data”

The famous quote, attributed to W. Edwards Deming.
Deming’s PDAC cycle comes from the scientific model of
forming hypotheses and then testing them, and it follows
these steps:
1. Plan.
Establish your objectives and how you plan to achieve
them. In the scientific method, the equivalent step is
creating your hypothesis and prediction.
 2. Do.
Implement the plan  — you make it happen. In the
scientific method, this step is the test of your
hypothesis.
3. Check.
Measure to determine what happened. The scientific
method calls this step the analysis. In the internet
software world, this is often put into practice with A/B
testing.
4. Act.
Think about root causes that may explain the differences
between actual and planned results. To close the cycle
of improvement, act on a new plan to implement and
test these root causes. This stage reflects the scientific
method’s commitment to evaluation and improvement.

After all, we generate more than 2.5 Qn bytes of data every

day, and this figure is going to only increase – thanks to IoT
and other advanced technologies. For the uninitiated, IoT
stands for Internet of Things, and it is basically a really bad
name for an extremely simple concept.
The idea behind IoT is interconnecting the most commonly
used devices and optimizing their usage to make our lives
simpler. For instance, taking a very basic example, your
electric teapot is linked to your alarm clock so that your tea
is ready as soon as you wake up. But don’t be mistaken, IoT
isn’t just limited to teapots and alarm clocks, and is instead
a vast sea in itself – so if you’re interested, don’t forget to
explore more!
Coming back to the discussion, such interconnection of
devices over the internet surely increases comfort and
convenience but at the cost of data. So, other than social
media, search engines, and whatnots, even your electric
teapot is a source of data.
This data, all of this combined, is precisely what forms Big
Data.
And if you’re with us so far, you’d have realized how
inevitable Big Data is, and how essential it is to know how to
tame it – for the success of any business.
This enormous increase in data is what has given birth to
Data Science, which has further branched into Machine
Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, and
more. All of these technologies are for businesses to make
sense of their heaps of data and derive insights from it.
Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the global Big
Data and business analytics market stood at US$ 169 billion
in 2018 and is projected to grow to US$ 274 billion by
2022. Moreover, a PwC report predicts that by 2020, there
will be around 2.7 million job postings in Data Science and
Analytics in the US alone.
These stats only reinstate the fact that the jobs in Big Data
are increasing, and as Big Data increases, so will the
opportunities. It’s because of that very reason that many
mid-career professionals are switching to Big Data, and many
freshers are acclimatizing themselves with Big Data tools and
techniques to get a jumpstart in their career.
Now, if you’re either of the two, you might often wonder
about the precise future of a career in Big Data. You might
wonder if this Big Data wave will be shortlived, or is it here to
stay.
How the future looks for a career in Big Data.
1. Increasing demand for Data Analytics.
Not long ago, Peter Sondergaard of Gartner Research
emphasized the importance of Data Analytics in the modern
world when he stated:
“Information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the
combustion engine.”
The amount of data we’re churning every minute is
continuously increasing day by day. While Data Science gurus
swear by the importance of data, what use will the data be to
us if there aren’t enough professionals with Data Analytics
skills? Who will analyze these massive quantities to data and
transform them into a valuable business resource?
Since companies around the globe realize the true potential
of data, the demand for skilled Data Analytics professionals is
soaring.  To process this data, Big Data analytics is
necessary. The upward-sloping job trend graph for Big Data
Analytics on Indeed.com depicts the steady increase in job
opportunities in the field:

2. Increasing enterprise adoption of Big Data.

We have a lot of stats to back this one!
A Forbes piece authored by Louis Columbus – 2014 IDG
Enterprise Big Data Research – states that in the next few
years, enterprises will spend an average of US$ 8 million on
Big Data initiatives.
According to the Peer Research ‘Big Data Analytics’ survey,
it was found that Big Data Analytics was one of the top
priorities of the participating companies – they believe that
it can improve their overall performance.
The conclusion here is that more and more organizations
across the globe are adopting Big Data technologies to
enhance their performance.
3. Big Data finds application across various parallels of
the industry.
Backing up the second point on our list, Big Data is
omnipresent. It has found applications across the various
sectors of the industry. According to a study by Wanted
Analytics (2015), the biggest significant demand for Big Data
professionals is  by Professional, Scientific and Technical
Services (25%), Information Technology (17%),
Manufacturing (15%), Finance and Insurance (9%), and
Retail Trade (8%).

4. Flexible career options.
When it comes to job positions and roles, Big Data is one of
the most versatile career options. As Analytics is a crucial tool
used in many different fields, you get a host of job titles to
choose from including:
 Big Data Engineer

 Big Data Analyst

 Big Data Analytics Architect

 Big Data Solution Architect

  Analytics Associate

 Metrics and Analytics Specialist

 Big Data Analytics Business Consultant

 Business Intelligence and Analytics Consultant

From top names in the field such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle,
Google, and Pentaho to emerging startups – everyone is
making use of Big Data Analytics and hence, creating the
demand for skilled Big Data professionals.
5. Promises exponential salary growth.
As the Big Data market grows rapidly, so is the salary of
professionals with expertise in Big Data and related
technologies. According to a Forbes article on Big Data jobs
(2015), the average salary for professionals skilled in Big Data
is around US$ 1,04,850 along with other bonuses and
compensations.
In India, a fresher with a Master’s degree in Data Science or
Data Analytics or other such related fields of study can bag
jobs with an entry-level package of Rs. 4 – 10 LPA, while
candidates with around 3-6 years of experience in the area
can fetch about Rs. 10 – 20 LPA. Moving to the higher end,
professionals with 6-10 years of industry expertise earn
about Rs. 15- 30 LPA, and those with over 15 years of
experience can make as high as Rs 10,000,000 per annum.
The high salary is owing to the fact that there’s a huge gap
between the demand and supply of professionals skilled in
Big Data and Data Science.
To conclude…
Stressing the importance of Big Data, Geoffrey Moore had
once stated:
“Without Big Data, you are blind and deaf in the middle of
the freeway.”
Thanks to Big Data, the industry landscape is transforming.
But like we said earlier, data is of no use unless there’s
someone to decipher it and unravel the hidden patterns
within. Businesses need insights from Big Data, and this is
precisely why they’re always on the lookout for skilled
professionals in the field – individuals who can unlock the
secrets that Big Data holds.
Big Data technologies like Hadoop and Spark are the
buzzwords now. So, make sure you learn how to work with
related tools Hive, HBase, MapReduce, Spark RDD, Spark
Streaming, SparkSQL, SparkR, MLlib, Flume, Sqoop, Oozie,
Kafka, Data frames, and GraphX, to name a few.
Rest assured, if you train yourself to acquire the right skills,
you will grow to become a vital asset to any organization
invested in Big Data. You will grow as the company grows.
