His first novel, The Immortals of Meluha, was published in 2010.

It took Tripathi nearly five years to finish the book. Shortly, the thesis was transformed into an adventure story of a Hindu god Shiva. At the encouragement of his family, he put down the philosophical thesis on paper. The clash of the concept of good and evil in these mythologies stimulated his interest to determine what exactly is evil. Whereas, the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian Persian myth had it reserved ahuras were their gods and demons daivas. They found out that there is a contradiction in the Indian and Persian religious myths as the Indian gods were considered devas and demons asuras. His writing career began with a philosophical debate inspired by an interesting piece of knowledge he and his family discovered on a television show.

However, fate had something else planned for him. Studying science and finance also inspired him to become a scientist or an industrialist. According to the author himself, he never intentionally wanted to pursue a career in writing. For fourteen years he worked in the field of finance as marketing and product manager at multiple firms, including Standard Chartered, DBS Bank and IDBI Federal Life Insurance. He received his MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, in Science, Tripathi went on to study Business Administration.
