Shreyashri wants to become a doctor to serve people.

“Health sector is one of the basic requirements and hence I want to become a doctor so that I will be able to serve people,” said Shreyashri.

Sharing her success mantra, Shreyashri, the matric topper said she did not use to study for long hours. “I always took it as a challenge to complete one chapter in a day so that there was no burden on me.
