Devdutt writes prolifically on mythology – he has written books not just on Indian mythology, but how it relates to the various spheres in the life of the common man.

Also, writing for different audiences excites me: if Jaya is for adults, then I needed to write Boys who Fought for children. If Business Sutra is for management students, then Shikhandi And Other Queer Tales They Don’t Tell You is for the LGBT community."
