Hi @shwetabhard,
First of all, welcome to the Platform of platforms and congrats on your CSA, it's a very good start!
There's no universal answer to your question. Regarding coding, ServiceNow introduces more and more options with no or low code methods, you can do pretty cool stuff without a single line of code, it is good to udnerstand it for debugging or process knowing better.
Instead of focusing on module such as ITSM, CSM, GRC, HR, .... you can rather focus on what role would be interesting for you - do you have ambition to be an admin, analyst, project manager or architect? Because there's not so many difference between HR analyst and ITSM analyst, the role is the same just for a different process but in a nutshell it will be similar or the knowledge transferrable.
If you are not sure what's the best for you, admin for ITSM is needed in every company so it might be a good starter and once you master ITSM then you can slowly continue with any other module.
Check these resources that I usually share with people in similar situation like you.
Go through it and especially the journeys and paths (you can combine between them) can suggest you what could be relevant in your position.

I’m a ServiceNow trainer and happy to share my thoughts with anyone beginning their ServiceNow journey.
ServiceNow is growing rapidly in both breadth and depth. The best way to start is by earning the CSA (Certified System Administrator) certification, which builds a solid foundation in platform fundamentals, terminology, and core modules. Once you gain hands-on experience through CSA, you can decide your next learning path.
Employers value professionals with multi-module expertise, so after completing CSA, consider exploring areas like ITSM, GRC, HRSD, CSM, or SecOps to broaden your portfolio.
Currently, the training is free, which is a great opportunity — though the real challenge lies in gaining hands-on experience. To overcome this, spend at least 1–2 hours a day engaging with the ServiceNow Community — read discussions, answer questions, and share your insights to strengthen your understanding and confidence.
If your goal is to become a developer, focus on building scripting skills using resources available on developer.servicenow.com. Regular practice will enhance your technical expertise.
Start with the CSA and then choose your direction based on your interests — whether as an Admin, Developer, Business Analyst, Change Manager, or Project Manager. A strong foundation will give you the flexibility to explore any of these paths.
Welcome to this vibrant community space where you can connect, collaborate, and grow. Share your ideas, seek guidance, and contribute to collective learning.
To take the next step, register on Now Learning and begin your ServiceNow learning journey today.

Hi @shwetabhard
I come from a similar non-coding background. I started my career in ServiceNow as a Change Manager, then moved into a Business Analyst role, worked as a BPC, and am now working as a Platform Owner.
I would suggest starting as a Business Analyst—there is a well-defined career path in that direction. You can begin learning and building your skills there. The key is that if you choose the BA/BPC path, you need to be strong on the functional side and understand the product inside out, as you will be the front-facing person for customers.
I also have a few podcast videos that can help you understand this role better.
