Start learning MS Office, Visio and Basic UML Concepts. This will help you to understand the software world terminology.
Certifications:
Currently there are no well known & recognized certification for BA in market in India. IIBA has certification which you can write only in US. Also look for any local training centres and get yourself learn UML, Requirements Gathering, DFDs, SRS etc.

Best way is first work in the IT division of your present organisation, it would give you the complete idea about the job profile and also the recruiter also has the idea about your experience.
