Business intelligence analysts build the reporting layer an organisation actually runs on — the dashboards a plant manager checks each morning, the numbers that go to a board pack. It is steadier and less fashionable than data science, and in India it has considerably more openings. Pune demand is strong because manufacturing, banking and services captives all need reporting maintained continuously. The skill that matters most is data modelling: analysts who understand how to structure a semantic layer outlast those who only know how to draw charts.
