Now what I want is, initially show a prompt to the user, as soon as the .bat is RUN.
Only IF the user says Y to the prompt should the complete set of commands should be executed.
ELSE it should just EXIT.

    set answer=N
    set /P answer=Do you want to proceed? 
    if /I not %answer% == Y exit /B
    rem Continue here...
    

    First SET command set a default value if the user just press Enter.
    The /I switch in IF command ignore case in comparison.
