The books have been translated into a number of local languages <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thisweekbangalore.com/released-in-several-regional-languages-amishs-shiva-trilogy-is-the-fastest-selling-book-series-in-indian-publishing-history/ |title= Language editions |date=9 December 2013 |publisher=This Week Bangalore|accessdate=19 December 2013 }}</ref> with the author believing that publishing as a whole is gradually being embedded in the Indian business sensibilities.<ref name="zee">{{cite news|url=http://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/bookworm/english-mass-market-books-tap-hindi-speakers_2456.htm|title=English mass-market books tap Hindi speakers|date=11 August 2012|accessdate=31 August 2012|publisher=Zee News}}</ref> Further explaining his thoughts, Tripathi said "I genuinely believe those five years from today, we will have a situation when other languages will account for higher sales of books than in English. That is the big change happening in publishing—it is taking pride in its own culture than knowing other cultures like in television, where regional language channels have more [[Target rating point|TRP]]s."<ref name="zee"/> Other than the local versions, the books have also been released in the [[Amazon Kindle]] version, available in India and UK.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.amazon.com/Secret-of-the-Nagas-ebook/dp/B008593PQO/ref=pd_sim_kstore_1/181-0337693-8702000|title=Secret of the Nagas <nowiki>[Kindle Edition]</nowiki>|date=22 May 2012|accessdate=31 August 2012|publisher=Amazon Kindle}}</ref>

In addition to the Indian movie rights sold to Dharma Productions, the international movie rights to ''The Immortals of Meluha'' are under discussion. Tripathi is represented by [[Creative Artists Agency]], a top Hollywood based talent agency, for movie deals on the Shiva Trilogy.<ref>{{cite news |title=Myths with a modern twist |url=http://www.thehindu.com/arts/books/article2856749.ece |date=5 February 2012 |first=Shashi|last=Baliga |location=Chennai, India |work=The Hindu}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Karma cola and masala mythology |url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/karma-colamasala-mythology/442038/|date=9 July 2011|first=Arghya |last=Ganguly}}</ref>

==Influence==
All of Tripathi's books (released and planned) are on religious topics since he is a devoted worshiper of [[Shiva]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Interview with the author of The Immortals of Meluha |url=http://www.rediff.com/getahead/slide-show/slide-show-1-specials-interview-with-amish-tripathi/20120131.htm|date=12 January 2012|first=Abhishek |last=Mande |work=[[Rediff]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title= Fame by name  |url=http://www.punemirror.in/article/63/201208102012081008431137edce445e/Tailpiece.html|work=Pune Mirror}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=My books are Shiva’s blessings |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-06-02/books/31960957_1_amish-tripathi-references-books|date=12 June 2012|first=Shruti |last=Pandit |work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> His grandfather was a Sanskrit scholar and a Pandit in [[Varanasi|Benares]]. Tripathi says that he gathered most of his knowledge of Hindu theology and religion from his grandfather and his very religious parents. He believes that religiosity and liberalism go hand-in-hand in India.<ref name="jaipur">{{cite news |title=Amish Tripathi and Ashwin Sanghi with Amrita Tripathi, introduced by Renuka Chatterjee.|url=http://jaipurliteraturefestival.org/archives/program-2011/23-jan-2012-program}}</ref> He is a believer of God, per say, and worships pictures of the Muslim [[Kaaba]], [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Mother Mary]], [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]], [[Zoroaster|Prophet Zarathustra]], [[Gautama Buddha|Gautam Buddha]] among symbols of other religions.<ref name=jaipur />

Sandipan Deb writes of the philosophical depth of Amish's books: "Through all Amish’s books flows a current of liberal progressive ideology: about gender, about caste, about discrimination of any kind. And what I believe separates him from the horde of Indian writers who have jumped on to the mythology bandwagon after Shiva’s success, is his historical research."<ref>{{cit news |title=Why Amish is Special|url=http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/fOKFdglPELqgaQSaWGFw7I/Why-Amish-Is-Special.html|publisher=LiveMint|date=30 June 2015|}}</ref>

==Marketing==
In the Indian market where large sales volumes of books are rare, Tripathi's books have been enormously successful. His marketing skills and strategies have been widely credited for the success of his novels.<ref name=toi>{{cite news |title=Myth and match: Talk with Amish Tripathi| url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-12-05/books/30338847_1_amish-tripathi-religious-book-financial-sector |first=Namrata |last=Bhawani |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=5 December 2011}}</ref><ref name=tele>{{cite news |title=Romancing the market |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110828/jsp/7days/story_14434593.jsp |date=28 August 2011 |work=[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]] |location=Calcutta, India |first1=Today's |last1=New}}</ref> He has stated, "It’s a fallacy to think that a good book sells itself. I can give you a long list of books that I think should have been bestsellers but nobody’s ever heard of them. My management background along with marketing experience helped me devise effective strategies for promoting my book."<ref name=toi/>

Weeks before ''The Immortals of Meluha'' hit the bookshops, Tripathi printed sample copies of the first chapter and persuaded bookshops and chains to give them away free to anyone who approached the cash counter, creating a buzz.<ref name="Outlook-1" /> He also made presentations to big retail chains, visited smaller retailers, met local distributors and regularly sent email updates to various stakeholders. He targeted social media websites for promoting his debut novel, and made a trailer film with a background score reportedly by [[Taufiq Qureshi]] and uploaded it on [[YouTube]].<ref name="tele" />

For promotion of his second book, Tripathi created video trailers of film production quality,complete with visual effects and screened them at multiplexes before<ref>{{cite news |title=The secret of Amish |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110907/jsp/entertainment/story_14472589.jsp |first=Poulomi |last=Banerjee|work=[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]] |location=Calcutta, India |date=7 September 2011}}</ref> movies such as the [[Shahrukh Khan]] starrer ''[[Ra.One]]''.<ref name=toi /> He believed that this would work as the audience that visits theatres is the same that reads my books.<ref>{{cite news |title=A film on The Immortals of Meluha? |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/NewReleases/A-film-on-The-Immortals-of-Meluha/Article1-736506.aspx| first=Shweta |last=Mehta |work=Hindustan Times}}</ref> Three other trailers were released on YouTube.<ref>The Secret of the Nagas, 2011, Acknowledgements, p. xii</ref>

In 2013, a music album called ''Vayuputras'', an original soundtrack based on ''The Oath of the Vayuputras'', the final book of the Shiva Trilogy, was released. The album featured songs by artists such as [[Sonu Nigam]], [[Taufiq Qureshi]], [[Palash Sen]], [[Bickram Ghosh]] among others. This was the first time ever that an original soundtrack was made for a book series.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-02-16/bollywood/37120075_1_shiva-trilogy-original-soundtrack-bickram-ghosh |title=Shiva trilogy music released |work=The Times of India |date=16 February 2013 |accessdate=5 March 2013}}</ref>
