Prior to making films as a director, Sreekumar served as an A.D. (First Assistant Director, Second-Unit Director and Chief Associate Director) under prominent South Indian filmmaker, Hariharan. His stint with director Hariharan was more than a decade long, working on seventeen films together, among which eight were scripted by 'Padma Bhushan' awardee and Jnanpith laureate M. T. Vasudevan Nair, one of the greatest scenarists in Indian film history. He was the Chief Associate Director of the celebrated Indian classic Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha. He has also directed several television commercials and documentaries.[6]

He was commissioned to direct the epic historical film Marthanda Varma in 2011, filmed simultaneously in English and Malayalam (spoken in the Indian state of Kerala and the surrounding area).[7][8][9][10][11] The project eventually got shelved. He subsequently served as the strategy director of Techgemini.[12][13]

He is currently the CEO of the streaming media and video-on-demand platform Inetscreen.[14][15]
