Alright! Back to the data scientist job and
its outlook in India. What do the numbers
say?
A recent report by The Hindu states that there
are an estimated 97,000 data analytics job
openings in India (Bengaluru accounts for
24% of these job openings, while Delhi/NCR
for 22%).
Since the data science field is progressing
at an extremely fast rate, the huge demand
for data science talent, especially in the
Technology/IT and Industrial domain, can hardly
catch up with the supply of skilled data scientists.
That’s why it doesn’t come as a surprise
that a significant part of the data scientists
in India (more than 40%) have received a ‘data
scientist’ job title within the last 24
months.

Walmart and IBM – in Bangalore;
and P&G are hiring in their office in Hyderabad;
Now, as promised, before we say goodbye, here
are a few tips that will help you stay ahead
of the competition:
if you are a college student or fresher, try
to get a data science internship, even if
it’s unpaid. Your goal should be to get
industry experience that you will later apply
in your permanent data science job;
• create a good GitHub repository and upload
