Amish Tripathi was born in Mumbai in 1974 and raised near Rourkela, Odisha. He pursued higher education at IIM-Calcutta and worked in the financial services industry for fourteen years, holding positions at institutions such as Standard Chartered Bank, IDBI Bank, Development Bank of Singapore, and IDBI Federal Life Insurance. His career path changed significantly with the publication of his debut novel.
His literary career commenced in 2010 with “The Immortals of Meluha,” the first book in “The Shiva Trilogy.” This series became the fastest-selling in Indian publishing history. He followed this success with “The Secret of the Nagas” in 2011 and “The Oath of the Vayuputras” in 2013. Tripathi then launched “The Ram Chandra Series” with “The Scion of Ikshvaku” in 2015, which received the Crossword Book’s “Best Popular Award.” “Sita: Warrior of Mithila” (2017) became the highest-selling book of that year, followed by “Raavan: The Enemy of Aryavarta” (2019) and “War of Lanka” (2022). His works have sold over 8 million copies and have been translated into 20 Indian and international languages. Beyond authorship, Tripathi held diplomatic roles, serving as Minister (Culture & Education) at the High Commission of India in the UK and Director of the Nehru Centre, London, from 2019 to 2023. During this period, he expanded the Nehru Centre’s global reach, particularly through virtual engagements during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tripathi has also established a presence in broadcasting and film. He hosted and co-produced several TV documentaries, including “Legends of the Ramayana with Amish” (2022), “The Journey of India” with Amitabh Bachchan, and “Ram Janmabhoomi: Return Of A Splendid Sun” (2024), which was noted as a successful Indian documentary. In 2024, his podcast, “Immortal India with Amish,” gained over 100,000 subscribers within months. His foray into gaming includes a partnership with Nouredine Abboud to create “Bharatvarsha / The Age of Bharat,” a franchise aiming to incorporate Indian heritage into digital interactive entertainment, with a video game launch planned by late 2026. In 2024, he became Creative Director for the film “Shri Radha Ramanam,” set for release in 2026. Tripathi continues to receive accolades for his contributions to literature and culture, including the Global Personality Award in Literature (2024) and being listed among India Today’s Top-50 Most Powerful People (2019).
