The Hidden HR Cost of Manual Data Analysis — and How FireAI Gives Your Team Its Time

The Silent HR Drain Behind Manual Data Work

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.

The Real Picture — How Analysts Spend Their Week

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.

Why This Is a Business Problem, Not a Technical One

Manual data analysis hides three very real costs:

Talent Waste: Analysts become disengaged and underutilized.
Attrition: Replacing them takes months and increases overhead.
Decision Lag: Insights arrive too late to act on.

This is how business intelligence AI quietly turns from an advantage into a bottleneck.
