The roles this course opens up include Business Analyst, Process
Analyst, Systems Analyst, Product Analyst, Requirements Analyst, Business Intelligence
Analyst and MIS Executive. These roles share a substantial common core — Excel and SQL for
handling business data, requirement documentation for translating business needs into
specifications, and a BI tool for building dashboards stakeholders can self-serve from — but
they differ in reporting line and the kind of decisions your output feeds into.

Most graduates step in as a Business Analyst, Product Analyst or MIS Executive and progress
into the other roles after two to four years, once they build domain knowledge in a specific
function such as IT services, GCC product work, BFSI, fintech, e-commerce, consulting,
healthcare, education or SaaS. For Bengaluru learners, Business Analyst, Product Analyst and
MIS roles are among the easiest local entry points — IT services firms, GCCs, product
companies, startups, banks, fintechs, hospitals, consulting firms, educational institutions
and government-adjacent projects all hire analysts for reporting, requirements and
operations. Remote roles and roles with global clients are also very common paths in this
market.
