While job opportunities in data science and ML are spiking rapidly, unfortunately, there aren’t enough talented professionals to fill job vacancies in these domains. In fact, 2018 statistics show that over 50,000 jobs in data science and ML remained unfulfilled due to the shortage of qualifying talent and skills.
Furthermore, Gartner maintains that out of 10 lakh registered Indian companies, 75% have either already invested or are willing to invest in machine learning and data science. As for the demand of professionals in these fields, banking and financial services lead the front with almost 44%, followed by e-commerce and healthcare, each creating around 12% of the total of analytics jobs in 2017. Apart from these sectors, energy (8%), telecommunication (6%) and media (6%) are also creating a massive demand for skilled data science professionals.
