Famous writer, and now director of the Nehru Centre in London, Amish Tripathi is at the Indian Express Adda.
Amish had worked for over a decade in the financial services industry before he decided to drop his surname and set out to make a name as a writer.
After the thumping success of the first book, he brought out the next two instalments of The Shiva Trilogy in quick succession — The Secret of the Nagas (2011), and The Oath of the Vayuputras (2013) — making it, arguably, the fastest-selling book series in the history of publishing in India.
The Express Adda is a series of informal interactions organised by The Indian Express Group and features those at the centre of change.
