Hello Krishna,
To succeed in any analytics-based role, I feel it is important to have strong basic math foundations. You could start with courses on Probability, Statistics, and Linear Algebra.
For Probability, you could refer to the book 'A First Course in Probability' by Sheldon Ross. The text covers fundamental concepts such as probability spaces, random variables, probability distributions, and limit theorems.
Once you understand the foundational concepts well, you can start working with datasets by using tools like SQL and Python, and shift your career into analytics.
