His appointment, which took effect immediately, has also received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Earlier, as Union Corporate Affairs Secretary (2017–2020), Srinivas played a key role in overhauling corporate regulations. He introduced reforms in insolvency law, competition law, and company law, while also establishing the National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) and the Independent Directors’ databank. His efforts significantly strengthened corporate governance and CSR compliance frameworks.
Before that, Srinivas had served as Union Sports Secretary and Director General of the Sports Authority of India, where he is credited with conceptualising and launching the Khelo India programme, transforming the country’s sports governance system.
