You need the same precaution on a 2000 km trip as you did on your 700 km trip!

Hello, I'm planning my first solo trip from Bangalore to Kolkata. Not sure if it's a good idea. It's about 2000km. Earlier I've driven about 700km solo. But it's thrice that length. Hence need advice on the least tools, accessories, spare parts that I should carry and how do I proceed with the tour? What are the mandate services I need to check before starting?

Doable. And congratulations on finding the courage to plan the maha trip.
Basic prerequisites:
1. Sleep 8+ hours for atleast a week prior to the trip.
2. Get the bike serviced/oil changed a week in advance and check for leaks.
3. Keep tire pressure in check a few days in advance.
4. Carry basic spares like bulb, torch, spark plug, wire, insulation tape, plier and spanners.
5. Break the trip into 3 days. We can discuss routes later but if you plan to go via Vijayawada-Rajahmundry route, stay doubly awake. Too many potholes!
6. Stay hydrated and avoid late night rides.
