hi ashok,

since you already are a Btech it is not advisable that u fo CA. Instead, you can go for CFA, which is a very reputed programs. however, it would take 3-4 years to clear the exam. you can study for that along with ur work or MBA degree.

apart from that u can opt for Finitiatives courses, NCFM, IIBF courses etc. Hope this helps :)

You can visit the finitiatives courses website (https://www.learnwithflip.com) . they are offering a 10hour e-learning course right now. you can register and access it for starters.

You can start with the financial markets: a beginners module in NCFM (you can go the website: https://www.nseindia.com/content/ncfm/ncfm_modules.htm) and access it.

The CFA is a long term course (but adds huge value)..google cfa and satisfy urself that it is the course you want to do..then try to get the cfa l1 material (not free...)
