"India is today amongst the top ten destinations for analytics and our aspiration is to be amongst the top three in the world by 2025. Nasscom is partnering with its members to build a multi-pronged approach that encompasses skill development, thought leadership, products and platforms to realise this vision," he said.

He said the rapid rise of analytics is reflected in job creation across verticals and functions with skills from analytics, business and technology.

With over 90,000 analytics professionals in India across HR, marketing, risk and security, healthcare, retail and finance verticals, the industry is witnessing the emergence of specialised roles like data architect, data strategist, data visualisation analyst and change manager, among others, he added.
