Every company claims to be data-driven, but behind the dashboards lies a quiet crisis.
Analysts aren’t quitting because the math is hard — they’re leaving because they spend most of their day copying, cleaning, and reconciling instead of thinking.
In mid-sized Indian firms, data analysts earning ₹12–15 lakh a year spend nearly two-thirds of their week preparing data from Tally, Zoho Books, CRMs, and spreadsheets.
That’s not analysis. That’s labor — expensive, demoralizing labor.
| Task | Hours per Week | Cost to Company (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Data extraction from Tally, Zoho, CRM | 10 | 2,880 |
| Format fixes, duplicate removal | 8 | 2,304 |
| Reconciliation of invoices, payments | 6 | 1,728 |
| Building dashboards | 6 | 1,728 |
| Ad-hoc report requests | 4 | 1,152 |
| Actual strategic work | 6 | 1,728 |
Nearly ₹10 lakh per analyst per year disappears into repetitive tasks that modern AI data analytics tools can automate in minutes.
Manual data analysis hides three very real costs:
This is how business intelligence AI quietly turns from an advantage into a bottleneck.
FireAI eliminates repetitive data work by merging automation, intelligence, and conversational analytics into one platform.
With FireAI, 34 hours of manual work per week shrink to under one hour, freeing teams for genuine analysis.
| Metric | Before FireAI | After FireAI |
|---|---|---|
| Manual data hours | 34 hrs/week | <1 hr/week |
| Strategic analysis | 6 hrs/week | 39 hrs/week |
| Insights per month | 4–6 | 25–30 |
| Retention rate | 60% | 85% |
| Strategic value created | ₹5.4L | ₹34L |
That’s a 6x ROI per analyst — and a happier, more productive team.
FireAI reduces burnout and boosts retention by transforming the analyst experience:
Replacing one analyst can cost ₹2–3 lakh in recruitment.
Keeping them engaged costs nothing — FireAI just makes their work meaningful again.
