Business Analytics

Hi Raghulraj,
I could suggest you an online institute where you could do your course on PGP- BABI. They provide personalised online mentorship as well as weekend classes. The Data Science and Business Analytics course curriculum have been designed in collaboration with faculty from Great Lakes and UT Austin McCombs School of Business. The teaching and content in the course are by faculty from Great Lakes, UT Austin and other practising data scientists and analytics experts. The capstone projects are approved by Great Lakes and UT Austin McCombs School of Business Faculty. You could do the course from Great learning, they are there in a number of cities in India.

Hi,
There was a time when businesses looking for analytic professionals would primarily focus on candidates with a Master's degree in quantitative fields such as Maths, Statistics, Economics and Computer Science. PhDs were in great demand too. A couple of things have happened in the last few years. Firstly, the analytic tools have become more user friendly. A lot of the latest tools are GUI based. Instead of learning a coding language one now needs to just master the graphical user interface of the tool, which is a lot easier. Secondly, experience has taught businesses that effective analytics exists only in the context of a business and a business problem. Those who have strong technical and quantitative skills but a poor understanding of the application of analytics in a business context, are likely be weak performers. Even experienced statisticians sometimes get caught up in the technique and accuracy of their predictive models and forget to pay sufficient attention to common sense and business logic. So a combination of more user friendly analytic tools and a need for higher business understanding to leverage the analytic insights better, has forced businesses to reverse their hiring philosophy. Instead of trying to find business-savvy mathematicians and statisticians, companies are now looking to hire data-savvy, business professionals. Companies like Genpact, WNS, Infosys, Accenture, Target etc. Are all hiring from business schools. B schools like the Iims, FMS, SP Jain and XIM have always been happy hunting grounds for analytic companies. Now even other institutes like MDI, SIOM, GIM, NIT and IMT are being targeted by these companies. With starting salaries ranging from 5 lacs to 12 lacs even for non IIM MBAs, analytics has become a coveted field in business schools around the country. Good luck.
