Standard definition of Business Analysis as defined by IIBA®.

“Business Analysis is the practice of enabling change in an organizational context, by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders. The set of tasks and techniques that are used to perform business analysis are defined in A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK® Guide).”

Business analysis is used to identify and articulate the need for change in how organizations work, and to facilitate that change.

Every company which has sizable revenue and requires a team to analyse the challenges and opportunities in their business hires Business Analysts. As India is the largest hub of Software outsourcing so we see many opportunities for IT Business Analysts.

Every IT outsourcing Company in India regardless of the size needs Business Analysts to run their projects. Also many big global non IT companies like HSBC, Citi Bank, Barclays, John Deere, American Express, Master Card, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Vodafone, BNP Paribas are the name of few hire Business Analysts in their IT centres in India.

Apart from above categories Indian Businesses also hires Business Analysts like banks (like SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis etc), Insurance Companies, online startups (like Paytm, FlipKart, Ola, Zomato, Byzus etc) , consultancy companies (like Crisil, KPMG, Mckinsey & Co, Boston Consulting Group, Deloitte, PwC, Tata Strategic Management Group etc) , Indian group of companies (like Tata Group, Aditya Birla group, Reliance group, L&T Group etc) also hire Business Analysts.

So there many types of companies hire Business Analysts for different functions and our focus is more on the IT Business Analysts where opportunities are also most.

Domain knowledge is very important in the Business Analyst profession as in every project you are trying to solve a specific problem related to specific business. And before solving the problem you need to understand Business problems first in totality.

So understanding of a particular type of Business is called Domain knowledge.
