Trivedi also pursued independent projects, composing for theatre (Hindi and Gujarati plays), background music for television shows, programming for Marathi films, live performances and dandiya shows. He also composed advertising jingles for brands such as McDonald's and Airtel. Upon Kashyap's recommendation, Trivedi was brought in for Raj Kumar Gupta's directorial venture Aamir. Trivedi and Gupta worked on aligning the soundtrack with the film narrative, which garnered positive critical attention. He worked on the soundtrack of Dev.D (2009), which he later described as a turning point in his career. He was awarded both the Filmfare R. D. Burman Award for New Music Talent and the Best Background Score at the 55th Filmfare Awards, in addition to his first nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director, before receiving the National Film Award for Best Music Direction. Trivedi wrote the score for Wake Up Sid (2009), and one of his compositions, "Iktara", was also included in the soundtrack. In 2009, Anshu Sharma offered Trivedi the opportunity to compose the team anthem "Game for More" for Royal Challengers Bangalore, a team owned by liquor baron Vijay Mallya. Trivedi wrote the title track for the reality show Big Switch aired on UTV Bindaas. He also provided the music and background score Aisha (2010), providing vocals for two songs, "Suno Aisha" and "Sham". He composed the songs and score for Ishaqzaade (2012) and Lootera (2013), which earned him his second and third nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director, and the soundtrack for Vikas Bahl's highly acclaimed Queen (2014), which earned him his fourth nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director. He earned three consecutive nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for his diverse compositions in Udta Punjab (2016), Secret Superstar (2017), and Manmarziyaan (2018). He won Best Song for "Naina Da Kya Kasoor" at the News18 Reel Movie Awards from Andhadhun (2018). He also sang "Laila Laila" for the film. In 2019, Power Brands honored him with the Best7 Music Director of the Year award for Andhadhun at the Bollywood Film Journalists Awards (BFJA). Trivedi again earned two consecutive nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for his compositions in Haseen Dillruba (2021) and Uunchai (2022). Trivedi composed the official anthem of the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, with lyrics by Kausar Munir and vocals by Sharvi Yadav and Anand Bhaskar. He has made TV appearances for various shows on MTV. Additionally, he composed the title track for the television show Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.
