Srinivas studied at St. Joseph's College, Bangalore University with a bachelor's degree in 1977 and at the University of Chicago , where he received his master's degree in 1978 and received his doctorate in 1982 with Spencer Bloch (Zero cycles on a singular surface). Then he was at the Tata Institute.

He deals with algebraic cycles (especially algebraic cycles on singular varieties) and algebraic K-theory and with commutative algebra.

In 1994 he became a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences. In 1987 he received the Indian National Science Academy Medal for Young Scientists, in 1995 the BM Birla Science Award, in 2003 the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology and in 2008 the mathematics award of the Third World Academy of Sciences. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (2012). Since 2016 Srinivas has also been an Einstein Visiting Fellow at the Berlin Mathematical School .

In 2010 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad (India) (Algebraic Cycles on Singular Varieties).

Amalendu Krishna is one of his doctoral students .
