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[1][6][7][8] about India's new social revolution in marriage and sexuality. It describes the major social changes that Indian society is going through in the 21st century. 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.[9][10][11] India in Love is her first work of non-fiction, and it is divided into sections on sexuality and marriage.[12]
What Would You Do to Save the World?
According to The Times of India, for the first time, a "'Could-have-been Beauty Queen', Ira Trivedi, a beauty pageant participant, pens a bare-all account of the process from application to the commonplace final question asked of the five finalists, that is the title of her book, What Would You Do to Save the World?" (Penguin Books).[2]
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[15] was released at the Jaipur Literature Festival by Pulitzer Prize winning author Junot Díaz. According to a DNA review, the book's "microscopic look at banking is severely convincing. Plus, the BlackBerry is where it rightfully belongs, in banking, and not in the manicured palms of teen princesses."[16]
Media
Trivedi writes for several publications including Foreign Affairs, Times of India, Hindustan Times, India Today, Hindu, DNA, Deccan Chronicle,[17] and The Telegraph.[18] Her writing is mostly on issues of gender and culture in India. Trivedi regularly appears on news channels in India and speaks internationally on issues of gender, women and youth.[19] [20]
Yoga
Trivedi hosted a daily show on Doordarshan National, India's national channel, called "Yoga with Ira Trivedi."[citation needed]
Trivedi led the yoga session at the 1st International Day of Yoga at Rajpath, New Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with 35,000 people, did yoga. The event broke the Guinness world record for the largest yoga class, with 35,985 people performing the ancient Indian discipline at once.[21]
Trivedi is the founder of Namami Yoga,[22] an organisation that brings yoga to adults and children. The Foundation conducts yoga classes in New Delhi.
Awards
In 2015, Trivedi won the Devi Award for dynamism and innovation.[23] In the same year, she was awarded the UK Media Award for the best investigative article dealing with bride trafficking in India.[24]
In 2017, Trivedi was chosen as one of the "BBC's 100 most influential women in the world."[25]
