Data Analyst, Business Analyst, MIS Executive/Analyst, Business
Intelligence Analyst, Marketing/Product Analyst and Operations Analyst are the roles this course
maps to. Each of these roles overlaps heavily in the underlying skill set — SQL for pulling and
shaping data, Excel for quick calculations and reporting, and a BI tool for building dashboards
that stakeholders can self-serve from — but they differ in who you report to and what decisions
your output feeds into.

Most graduates start as a Data Analyst, MIS Analyst or Business Analyst and move into the
others with two to four years of experience, as they build domain knowledge in a specific
function such as marketing, operations or finance. The transition usually happens naturally once
you've owned a few end-to-end reporting or analysis projects and can speak the language of the
business unit you support, rather than through a formal certification alone. For Ahmedabad
learners, these roles may be available locally in pharma, manufacturing, financial services,
retail or logistics businesses, or remotely with employers across India.
