feeling stuck and nihilistic

I am a 25-year-old male data analyst earning 7 LPA. I honestly don't know what I am genuinely interested in for my career. My work has become mundane and boring, and I don't know what other fields I am interested in. I get no ideas or anything to pursue as a side interest. Sometimes nothing interests me, and I feel like trying out every hyped-up field to see if I fit anywhere, but honestly, I'm clueless.

I'm not even interested in accumulating wealth, but I genuinely don't want to lead a life where every day feels like a chore. I just want to find what really interests me, get really good at it, and wake up with a genuine curiosity for the day.

tell me what I should do?

Sorry to spit this out buddy, but this is how life's gonna be for decades to come.
Hopefully you find some purpose to reduce this feeling.
Good luck

In the same boat bro, but I'd suggest explore something alongside your current job. It's tough I know, but it's the only way out (if you don't have any other source of income)

You are a victim of social media. I was at the same place at 25. Earning same 7lpa. I have changed multiple jobs since then. One thing that's common is every job is mundane and clerical. The jobs that come to India are not innovative or R&d jobs. Further to improve productivity the jobs have been broken down to mundane levels to ensure business continuity. This is the reason any person can be replaced in 30 mins.

There is no solution to this. We got to suck it up and move on.
