Whatever happened to Ashok K. Banker?

Back when I was in college mumble-something years ago, I remember Ashok K. Banker's books being a really big deal, especially his Ramayana retelling. However he hasn't published anything since 2020 and Googling doesn't yield any info. Anyone know if he just decided to take a step back from writing, or the books didn't sell well, or what? I know he had these grand plans for some kind of Hindu Mythological Cinematic Universe.
