Sreevalsan is an 'A' grade artist of All India Radio and has given concerts all over the country including the National Concerts of AIR and Doordarshan. He has received several awards from the Madras Music Academy, and a title from Krishna Gana Sabha, also in Chennai, besides such institutions of repute in the Deccan.

He has given Carnatic vocal performances and lecture demonstrations throughout India, the Middle East, USA, Canada and Africa.

Currently, he works as associate professor at the Kerala Agricultural University in Thrissur, and is a Ph D in Agricultural Extension from IARI, New Delhi. (He earned his doctorate with research on the social impact of rubber cultivation.)
