Bombs, Bunkers & Big Data: Why Data Analysts Are in Demand

Hello Readers, 

Did you hear?

The Israel-Iran war is still on!

The Israel-Iran war has now entered its ninth day with escalating attacks from both sides. Iran launched a major wave of missile and drone strikes across Israeli cities including Haifa, Beersheba, Tel Aviv, and Holon, with some projectiles reportedly containing banned cluster munitions. A hospital, a childcare center, and residential areas were hit, leaving hundreds injured. In response, Israel carried out a massive overnight air campaign using over 60 fighter jets to bomb Iranian nuclear, missile, and military sites in Tehran, Natanz, Arak, and other key locations. What now?

Indians were evacuated from Iran!

Under Operation Sindhu, India has successfully evacuated over 1,000 citizens, including 110 students, from Iran's Mashhad amid regional tensions. Iran temporarily opened its airspace, allowing special flights to operate. The first batch of students landed safely in Delhi, with more flights scheduled. The government is actively coordinating rescue efforts to ensure the safe return of all Indians, including pilgrims. The mission reflects swift diplomatic coordination and growing concerns over safety due to the escalating conflict involving Iran and Israel. What else?

Iran is 15 days away from making a bomb!

Mossad claims Iran could build a nuclear bomb in just 15 days, sharply contrasting with U.S. intelligence, which estimates a timeline of one to three years. Former U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard suggested Iran could weaponize within months if it chose to. However, Donald Trump dismissed Gabbard’s assessment as incorrect, siding with Israel’s more urgent warning. The discrepancy highlights deep divisions between Israeli and U.S. intelligence agencies, and within U.S. leadership, over the immediacy of Iran’s nuclear threat.

Iran is open to peace talks!

Iran has ruled out nuclear talks with the U.S. until Israeli attacks stop, amid escalating conflict. Iran launched missile strikes on central Israel, including Tel Aviv, while Israel responded with airstrikes targeting Iranian missile and nuclear sites. Tehran condemned the U.S. for backing Israel, calling it a betrayal of diplomacy. Despite pressure from Europe to revive negotiations, Tehran maintains its stance. As casualties mount, global powers fear the violence could spiral into a wider regional war without swift diplomatic intervention.

America could attack Iran!!

Former President Trump is considering a U.S. military strike on Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. However, concerns within the Pentagon about the effectiveness of the 30,000-pound GBU-57 bunker-buster bomb have made him cautious. The bomb may not be able to fully destroy the deeply buried site, raising doubts about the mission’s success. With a two-week deadline to decide, Trump faces mounting pressure to act decisively as diplomatic options narrow and tensions with Iran continue to escalate. If the US joins this war, the West Asian crisis could spiral out of control!!

Speaking of war, did you know Data Analytics can be used for war!!?

That’s right. National Security advisors can use Data Analytics to make critical wartime decisions that can change the tide of the war. Some examples are:-

• Predict enemy movement (like the US did in the Iraq war)
• Triangulate terrorist hideouts (using social media and internet usage data)
• Identifying enemy weapon caches and strongholds (by analyzing satellite imagery and geographic data)
• For cyberwarfare (to carry out/defend against cyber attacks)
• To optimize logistics (to ensure supplies and equipment reach ASAP!)
• To identify possible threats (by analyzing data from communications and shady financial transactions)

Interestingly, war is not the only field where Data Analytics is growing. With technology being applied to every aspect of our lives, companies are gathering an unprecedented amount of data every day! A recent estimate suggested that around 402.74 million TB data is generated every day!!

With an ever-growing gold mine that can boost company performance, every company now seeks competent Data Analysts who can derive the right kind of insights and help management decision-making. However, the supply is not enough to meet growing demand.

In fact, many companies are willing to pay a premium of 35-40% to bring in such individuals!!! Are you prepared to become the candidate that HRs fight over with seven-figure salaries?

Data Analytics is not well known in our country as people prefer to opt for traditional roles in science, like Software and Civil Engineering. However, as discussed above, data is one of the fastest growing fields which will be a game-changer for all companies and businesses. But entering this field is not easy.

While you don’t need a Masters degree for it, you certainly need practical industry-relevant skills. Thus, it is time to gear up and upskill yourself. With the continuously evolving professional landscape, the one who does not level up will be left behind and let go. Therefore, you need the right skills and adequate exposure to become someone who can get easily placed.
