While both roles are centered on data, they serve distinct functions. Data Science
seeks to extract meaning from the chaos of data, uncovering valuable insights.
Decision Science, on the other hand, takes these insights and applies analytical tools,
mathematical formulas, behavioral sciences, and more to make informed business
decisions.
• Job Opportunities: By 2026, there will be 11 million job openings in Data Science in
India alone.
• Market Growth: The Data Science platform market is expected to grow at a CAGR
of 26.9% from 2020 to 2027.
• Increased Hiring: Since 2019, there has been a 46% increase in hiring within the
Data Science industry in India.
• Prestige: Data Science and Decision Science have been lauded as the 'Sexiest Job
of the 21st Century' by the Harvard Business Review.
In conclusion, while finding data is no longer the challenge it once was, the true hurdle lies in
determining how to effectively use it. Through a blend of Data Science and Decision Science, businesses
can navigate the complexities of modern data landscapes, transforming raw information into
actionable strategies that drive growth and innovation.

Decision Science:
Learners will be introduced to all three pillars of decision science—prescriptive,
predictive, and descriptive decision-making—through various modules. To facilitate
the practical application of these concepts, a case study-based capstone project will
be used. The relevant tools and techniques will be explored using Excel, Excel Solver,
Python, and LINGO.
Toolkit Mastery
Decision Scientists
Decision Scientists apply analytical and quantitative techniques to assist
decision-making processes within an organisation. They leverage data
science, operations research, and behavioural science to develop
decision support systems and provide actionable recommendations for
optimising business performance.
Business Analyst
Business Analysts identify business needs and determine solutions to
business problems. This often involves analysing data to improve
processes, products, services, or software. They work closely with
stakeholders to gather requirements and ensure solutions align with
business goals.
Data Architect
Data Architects design and manage an organisation's data
infrastructure. They create blueprints for data management systems to
integrate, centralise, protect, and maintain data sources. Their work
ensures that data is accessible, reliable, and efficiently stored,
supporting various analytical and operational needs.
