Excel, python or R. Analytics is a vast field but these are some universal tools that help

Python , power bi or tableau, SQL , advance excel will help you

Guys, from where to start with this. I have 10+ yoe in Manual Testing and looking for upgrades. Can you guide on any online/offline courses available?

The field is way too vast. What you can perhaps begin is with the below skills
Data Source Systems - MS-SQL or MySql (cloud or on-prem)
DB Scripting Language - T-SQL or PL-SQL
Data Manipulation - Excel, VBA
ETL - SSIS or Alteryx
Viz Tool - Power BI or Tableau
Any scripting language like Python, R would furtenr add value to your skill set.
Good luck!
