The applicability of data analytics was growing across all verticals like the banking, insurance, telecommunication, listed companies, as well as in the retail sector, he said.
Kagalwalla said SAS, which provide data analytics software, was getting into collaboration with top institutes of the country to cut down on the gap, he said.
