  • SRI: Socially Responsible Investment or Socially Responsible Investing. See article: .
  • Sri is also the standard honorific (akin to Mr. in English) used when referring to an adult male in various Indian languages, including Bengali, Hindi, and Sanskrit, and sometimes in English as well (in an Indian context). The



    equivalent title for women is Shrimati (abbreviated Smt).
  • Sri is commonly prefixed to the names of Hindu gods, as well as to the names of men and women who are considered great or holy, or who derive their power from that which is holy. When used as a title for gods, Śrī is sometimes translated into English as Lord, but this is quite inaccurate and it is generally agreed that Śrī is best left untranslated.
