Nasscom identifies key jobs in big data

At the fifth annual Big Data & Analytics Summit, which concluded here on Friday, the industry body identified six areas of specialisation in the big data analytics domain. Business analysts, solution architects, data integrators, data architects, data analysts and data scientists are expected to be key to sectors growth in times to come, Nasscom said in a statement. 

“With the rising requirement for niche competencies in AI and analytics, the skill/expertise of the IT workforce will spearhead the analytical transformation on critical business processes across the industry. Nasscom’s Reskilling initiative will partner with the industry to identify the best curriculum against these job roles,” it said. As per Nasscom’s Strategic Review 2017, analytics export market grew by nearly 20 pc in FY2017.

Export projection reasonable :

The projection by Nasscom that Indian IT exports would grow 7-8 per cent in the current fiscal is realistic and reasonable and reflects the current global business environment, say senior figures in the sector. The numbers put out by the industry body are very realistic because the global IT spending is not going up this year and there are political uncertainties in the US and parts of Europe, two key markets of Indian firms, said TV Mohandas Pai, the former CFO of Infosys.
