Amish Tripathi

 Described as ‘India’s first literary popstar’ by world-renowned film director Shekhar Kapur,  Amish’s unique combination of crackling story-telling, religious symbolism and profound philosophies has made him an overnight publishing phenomenon, with spiritual guru Deepak Chopra hailing Amish’s books as ‘archetypal and stirring’.

His four books till now — The Immortals of Meluha (2010), The Secret of the Nagas (2011) and The Oath of the Vayuputras (2013), which collectively comprise the Shiva Trilogy and Scion of Ikshvaku (2015)  — have over 3.5 million copies in print with gross retail sales of over Rs 100 crores. They have been translated into 16 Indian and International languages.

The Shiva Trilogy is the fastest selling book series in Indian history. Scion of Ikshvaku, the first book of the Ramchandra Series, was the highest selling book of 2015. The Indian language translations of Amish's books have sold 5 lakh copies, breaking records in this space.
