Salary Data & Career Planning • May 2026

Before you invest ₹30,000 to ₹2,50,000 in a data analytics course, the most important question is not about the curriculum — it is about what you will earn after completing it. This guide gives you the real salary numbers for data analysts in Bangalore in 2026, broken down by experience level, company type, skill set, and domain.

These figures are based on Naukri JobSpeak India salary data, LinkedIn job postings for Bangalore, and our own placement data from students who completed the data analytics course in Bangalore at Vtricks Technologies. No inflated numbers. No best-case outliers presented as averages.

## Data analyst salary by company type in Bangalore

Not all Bangalore companies pay the same for the same role. The company type matters as much as your skill set.

01

#### IT Services (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Tech Mahindra)

Fresher: ₹3–4.5 LPA. Mid-level: ₹6–9 LPA. These companies hire in volume. The salary is lower but the entry barrier is also lower — making them a practical first job for freshers from the data analytics course in Bangalore. Deepu R, a Vtricks student, got placed as a Business Analyst at Tech Mahindra after transitioning from a non-IT background.

02

#### Product companies and startups (Flipkart, Razorpay, Swiggy, CRED)

Fresher: ₹5–8 LPA. Mid-level: ₹10–16 LPA. Product companies pay more because each analyst directly impacts product or revenue metrics. The bar is higher — they expect strong SQL, Python, and dashboard skills from day one. The Vtricks curriculum is built around this standard.

03

#### Global Capability Centres / GCCs (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Target, Walmart)

Fresher: ₹5–7 LPA. Mid-level: ₹10–15 LPA. GCCs are the fastest-growing employer category in Bangalore for data analysts. They pay well, offer structured career paths, and have strong work-life balance compared to startups. The demand for Power BI and Tableau skills is particularly high in GCCs.

04

#### Analytics-focused firms (Sigmoid, Mu Sigma, Fractal, Tiger Analytics)

Fresher: ₹4–6 LPA. Mid-level: ₹8–14 LPA. These companies are pure analytics shops — you will work on data problems from day one. Navyashree T E, a Vtricks student, got placed at Sigmoid Analytics as a Data Analyst with a 100% salary hike from her previous role.

## Which skills increase your data analyst salary the most?

All data analysts learn SQL and Excel. What separates a ₹4 LPA offer from a ₹7 LPA offer for a fresher is the additional skill set you bring. Here is what the Bangalore job market pays a premium for in 2026:

Skill | Why Bangalore Companies Pay More For It | Salary Premium
--- | --- | ---
Python (Pandas, NumPy) | Automates data cleaning. Handles large datasets that Excel cannot. Required for any product company role. | +15–25%
Power BI (DAX, data modelling) | The default BI tool in most Bangalore companies replacing legacy Excel reporting. DAX knowledge specifically is scarce. | +15–20%
Advanced SQL (window functions, CTEs) | Most fresher analysts know basic SQL. Window functions and CTEs are interview differentiators that get you past round 2. | +10–15%
Statistics (hypothesis testing, regression) | Required for A/B testing roles. Product companies and GCCs specifically test for statistical reasoning in interviews. | +10–15%
GenAI tools (NL-to-SQL, Copilot in Power BI) | New in 2026. Analysts who can use AI tools to write SQL faster, explain charts, and accelerate reporting are in high demand and short supply. | +25–35%

Every skill in this table is covered in the Vtricks data analytics course in Bangalore — including the GenAI module which most institutes have not added to their 2026 curriculum yet.

## Can a data analyst earn ₹1 lakh per month in Bangalore?

This is one of the most searched questions about data analyst salaries. The short answer is yes — but not immediately. Here is the realistic timeline:

Year 0–1: ₹22,000 – ₹40,000/month

Your first data analyst job in Bangalore. Focus on building strong SQL and dashboard skills. Get comfortable with real business data. Don't optimise for salary yet — optimise for learning speed.

Year 2–3: ₹50,000 – ₹80,000/month

You switch to a better role or get promoted. At this stage your Python, Power BI DAX, and statistical analysis skills are what get you to the next bracket. One strategic job switch at the 2-year mark typically gives a 40–60% hike.

Year 4–5: ₹95,000 – ₹1,50,000/month

Senior analyst or analytics lead level. You are now managing stakeholders, scoping analytics projects, and mentoring junior analysts. ₹1 lakh per month (₹12 LPA) is realistic at this stage in a product company or GCC in Bangalore.

The total journey from fresher to ₹1 lakh/month takes 3–5 years in Bangalore — faster if you join a product company or GCC, slower in IT services. The starting point is getting the right skills and the right first job, which is what the Vtricks placement process is designed to deliver.

## Data analyst salary by domain in Bangalore

The industry you work in affects your salary range even at the same experience level. Here is how Bangalore domains compare:

Domain | Fresher Salary | Mid-Level Salary | Notes
--- | --- | --- | ---
Fintech / Banking | ₹5–7 LPA | ₹10–16 LPA | Highest paying. SQL + statistics heavy.
E-commerce | ₹4–6 LPA | ₹9–14 LPA | Fast-paced. Python + A/B testing important.
Healthcare | ₹4–6 LPA | ₹8–13 LPA | Growing fast. Data governance skills valued.
SaaS / Product | ₹5–8 LPA | ₹10–15 LPA | Power BI / dashboard skills critical.
IT Services | ₹3–4.5 LPA | ₹6–9 LPA | Easiest entry. Lower salary but stable.
Logistics / Supply Chain | ₹3.5–5 LPA | ₹7–11 LPA | Excel heavy. Growing with automation.

The Vtricks data analytics course includes capstone projects across fintech, e-commerce, and healthcare domains specifically so you have domain-relevant portfolio work to show in interviews for any of these sectors.

## Course fee vs first-year salary — the ROI perspective

Every prospective student weighs the course investment against the expected return. Here is the straightforward calculation for the Vtricks data analytics course:

Course fee

₹32,000

All-inclusive, EMI from ₹1,499/mo

Fresher annual salary

₹3–6 LPA

First job post-course

ROI multiplier (year 1)

9x – 18x

Return on ₹32,000 investment

Even at the lowest fresher salary of ₹3 LPA, the course fee represents less than 1 month of gross salary. At ₹6 LPA, it is less than 2 weeks of gross salary. By any financial measure, a data analytics course is one of the highest-ROI education investments available in Bangalore.

## How to maximise your starting salary as a fresher data analyst in Bangalore

These are practical steps, not generic advice. Each one directly impacts the salary you get offered:

1

Build a GitHub portfolio with 3+ projects

Candidates with visible project work get 20–30% higher starting offers than candidates who only have a certificate. The Vtricks course includes portfolio building as part of the curriculum — every student finishes with a GitHub profile and Power BI dashboard screenshots.

2

Target product companies and GCCs for your first role

A fresher at a product company starts at ₹5–8 LPA. The same fresher at an IT services company starts at ₹3–4.5 LPA. The skill bar is higher but the Vtricks curriculum is built to meet the product company standard.

3

Learn GenAI tools before your interviews

Analysts who can demonstrate NL-to-SQL, Copilot usage, or AI-assisted dashboard creation are getting 25–35% higher offers in 2026. Most candidates do not have this skill because most courses have not updated their curriculum. The Vtricks 2026 batch includes a dedicated GenAI module.

4

Negotiate with data — not with hope

When you receive an offer, compare it against the salary table in this article. If a company offers ₹3 LPA for a role that typically pays ₹4.5 LPA, you now have the data to negotiate. The Vtricks placement team provides offer guidance as part of the placement support.
