Growing — the formalisation of India's data economy under the DPDP Act 2023, the migration of large enterprise data warehouses from on-premise Oracle and Teradata to cloud warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks), and the increasing adoption of enterprise data catalogs (Collibra, Atlan) are all driving sustained demand for experienced Data Modelers. The role is especially strong in BFSI, large IT services delivery, and GCCs of global financial and retail firms operating in India. The talent supply of modelers who combine formal DAMA-DMBOK knowledge with modern warehouse platform experience remains thin, keeping salary growth healthy at the senior level.
