Background
Trivedi graduated from Wellesley College in 2006 with a degree in economics.[1] She has an MBA from Columbia University.[2][3]
She is the founder of Namami Yoga,[4] an organisation that brings yoga to adults and children in New Delhi. She writes for Deccan Chronicle,[5] and The Telegraph.[6] Trivedi speaks often on issues of gender, women and youth.[7][8]
Works
India in Love: Marriage and Sexuality in the 21st Century
India in Love: Marriage and Sexuality in the 21st Century is a 2014 non-fiction book about India's new social revolution in marriage and sexuality.[9] Trivedi traveled to over a dozen cities and interviewed 500 people including academics, policy makers, law-enforcers, and other participants in India's sexual and marriage revolution.[10][11] [12]
What Would You Do to Save the World?
This is a bare-all account of the beauty pageant process from application to the commonplace final question asked of finalists, that is the title of the book.[citation needed]
It has been termed as "an entertaining first novel" (Deccan Herald)[13] "with a letter-perfect analysis of the social phenomenon known as South Bombay..."(Outlook).[14]
There's No Love on Wall Street
There's no Love on Wall Street was released at the Jaipur Literature Festival by Pulitzer Prize winning author Junot Díaz.[15] According to a DNA review, the book's "microscopic look at banking is severely convincing."[16]
Controversy
Ira Trivedi triggered controversy over her remarks on beef consumption on Twitter.[17] Her show on yoga was subsequently dropped on Doordarshan.[18] Trivedi accused Chetan Bhagat of sexual harassment in 2018.[19]
Awards
In 2015, Trivedi won the Devi Award for dynamism and innovation.[20] That same year, she was awarded a UK Media Award for best investigative article dealing with bride trafficking in India.[21]
In 2017, Trivedi was chosen as one of the "BBC's 100 most influential women in the world. “[22]
