Sinha worked for a year in TV ad sales.^[4] He moved to Mumbai to find work in the entertainment industry.^[4] Having tried unsuccessfully to become an actor, he took a scriptwriting course and began writing for TV;^[7] then turned to books, debuting with That Thing Called Love in 2007.^[4][8] This was followed by 22 yards in 2008^[8] and Of Love and Politics in 2010.^[9] Sinha proceeded to write political thrillers and romance novels as well as Daddy, a non-fiction book on parenting (2015),^[10] and two books on politics, one with former BJP president Nitin Gadkari.^[11][12] In 2021, he published the historical novel The Legend of Birsa Munda (2021), a dramatized account of the life of 19th-century religious leader and tribal revolutionary Birsa Munda, co-written with Ankita Verma,^[13][14] followed in 2022 by the non-fiction book The Great Tribal Warriors of Bharat, co-authored with Ambalika.^[15]

Reviewing for The Hindu, Reshmi Kulkarni found Of Love and Politics to be a "more head-spinning than heady" political thriller with occasional splashes of romance.^[9] Reviewing The Edge of Desire, Kulkarni found the work to be a one-time-read that suffered from the intense cramming of a multitude of political affairs.^[20] Sayoni Aiyar for News18.com deplored how Sinha's female lead character defined herself entirely by relationships with men in her life.^[21]

Reviewing for The Deccan Chronicle, Omkar Sane panned Let The Reason be Love as an epitome of mediocrity and predictability.^[22] Sinha's non-fiction book on childcare, Daddy (2015), was described in The New Indian Express as written for "new-generation fathers."^[23]
