Fra 2010 til 2013 udgav forfatteren Amish Tripathi de tre bøger i sin fiktive Shiva-trilogi - The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas og The Oath of the Vayuputras - inspireret af den hinduistiske gud Shiva. Udgivelserne blev en kritisk og kommerciel succes, og anmelderne roste Tripathi for hans innovative markedsføringsstrategi til fremme af bøgerne, som omfattede videotrailere i forbindelse med højt profilerede filmudgivelser, distributionskæder samt et musikalbum inspireret af serien, kaldet Vayuputras. I juni 2015 var der solgt 2,5 millioner eksemplarer af Shiva-trilogien med et bruttoudsalg i detailhandelen på over ₹60 crore (9,2 mio. USD), hvilket gør den til den hurtigst sælgende bogserie i den indiske forlags historie. Tripathis forlægger Westland Press betalte ham et forskud på ₹5 crore (770 000 USD) for den næste serie, han ville skrive. Gautam Padmanabhan, administrerende direktør for Westland, præciserede, at forskuddet omfattede bog-, lyd- og e-publiceringsrettighederne til serien. Aftalen var for den sydasiatiske region og var det største forskud, der nogensinde er betalt til en indisk forfatter. Anuj Bahri, der var den første udgiver af The Immortals of Meluha, sagde, at aftalen kunne blive op til 4 millioner USD, når de havde erhvervet film-, udenlandske og oversættelsesrettigheder til bøgerne.

From 2010 to 2013, author Amish Tripathi released the three books in his fictional Shiva trilogy—The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas and The Oath of the Vayuputras—inspired by the Hindu God Shiva. The releases became a critical and commercial success, with reviewers crediting Tripathi for his innovative marketing strategy in promotion of the books, which included video trailers associated with high-profile film releases, retail chain distributions as well as a music album inspired by the series, called Vayuputras. As of June 2015, 2.5 million copies of the Shiva Trilogy have been sold with gross retail sales of over ₹60 crore (US$9.2 million), making it the fastest selling book series in the history of Indian publishing. Tripathi's publisher Westland Press paid him advance amount of ₹5 crore (US$770,000) for the next series that he would write. Gautam Padmanabhan, CEO of Westland clarified that the advance included the book, audio and e-publishing rights for series. The deal was for the South-Asian region and was the largest advance ever paid to an Indian author. Anuj Bahri, who was the first publisher for The Immortals of Meluha, said that the deal could go up to US$4 million once they acquired the film, foreign and translation rights for the books.
