In 2002, Srinath became the youngest FIDE rated player of India.[6] In July 2005, he took the gold medal in the U12 division at the World Youth Chess Championships held in Belfort, France, edging out Sanan Sjugirov, Samvel Ter-Sahakyan and Wesley So on tiebreak. All four had a final score of 8½ points.[7] Srinath played for the Indian team that won the silver medal in the World Youth U16 Chess Olympiad in 2010.[8]
