2. NLP is likely to get smarter with explainable intelligence

Business analytics is set to become a largely AI and ML-based process, reducing the need for human intervention with ‘explainable intelligence’, which will auto-generate an explanation, summarizing why a decision was taken. By citing attributes, accuracy, statistics, and other sufficient collateral, this technology will explain the need and relevance of a decision.

 

3. Climb up the skill-based hierarchy

According to recent industry salary reports, the average base salary for a business analyst in India is Rs. 6.4 LPA per year. The higher end of remuneration for established professionals who keep themselves updated with the latest BI technologies and industry trends is something between 25-40 LPA.

 

5. Industry-independent Career
