Shreesha was assisted by M.V. Krishna, Ajaya R. Shankar, T.V. Varun, Himanshu Vikram Sharma and V. Adithya.

Shreesha is the son of R.S. Ramaswamy, a retd. Principal of Mahajana High School and S. Srimathi, a home maker. The Management and Staff of Vijaya Vittala PU college have congratulated Sreesha on his achievement.
