Hi Saurabh!

In smaller organizations, these job titles may be used interchangeably to describe roles that involve data or system analysis. Larger organizations, however, often employ both data analysts and business analysts, making the differences between the two careers important to understand.

While data analysts and business analysts both work with data, the main difference lies in what they do with it. Business analysts use data to help organizations make more effective business decisions, while data analysts are more interested in gathering and analyzing data for the business to evaluate and use to make decisions on their own.

Qualification:

A bachelor's degree in business or related field or an MBA. A bachelor's degree is needed for most entry-level jobs, and a master's degree will be needed for many upper-level jobs.


Scope:

Today, data analytics has become a big career option in India.Data analysts with more than 5 years of experience often earn up to 15 lakhs per annum.

Business analysts' profiles are gaining popularity in India and worldwide and the scope is also expanding. Gaining valuable insights from data has become the top priority for every organization so they are looking for business analysts.

Hoping this was helpful!
