Dear Ravi,
Thanks for writing to us. As you are already having 3 years 6 months of experience into BPO, I suggest you to continue in the same field and work hard to reach managerial role. BPO is an evergreen market and you can cherish your career.
Following are the situations you will face if you want to come to IT:
1. You will be treated as fresher in IT side as you don't carry any experience.
2. You need to compete with experienced people and also have to face questions as well as experienced when facing the interview eventhough you don't have any experience.
3. People will ask why you want to move now after 3.6 years.. Answer you can't say that financially you want to grow. If you want to grow technically then you would have tried may be 2 years back itself.
Still if you want to pursue and try out IT then better learn Java and Hadoop (for Analytics). Now the entire market is going digital so would be better to learn analytics related tools
