Because of the increasing digitization of businesses and services, India has the world’s second-largest data science cluster. Analysts estimate that by 2026, the country will have around 11 million job openings. Indeed, since 2019, the field of data science has seen a 46 percent increase in hiring.
Despite this, by the end of August 2020, India had approximately 93,000 open Data Science vacancies. People with less than five years of experience accounted for 70% of the job opportunities.
Engineers take six to eight weeks to hire, whereas data scientists take eleven to twelve weeks to hire. The source of the substantial supply gap and extended hiring timeframes can be traced back to existing skill mismatches.
The learning curve for Data Science and Machine Learning is steep. Even while India receives a high number of data scientists each year, just a small percentage of them have the essential skills and specialisation. As a result, there is a growing demand for professionals with specialized data skills.
