Sriram Venkatasubba Setty (IAST: Śrīrām Veṃkaṭasubbā Seṭṭi) popularly known as S.V.

He won a scholarship from the Mysore government to Faraday House, London, where he studied for a diploma in electrical engineering.

John Robertson Duigan, impressed by the maiden trial flight, complimented Setty and he even concluded a deal with Avro.

The design was published in the Modern Review monthly magazine (July 1912, India), and it was different from the Avro 500.

The new biplane aircraft which Setty had designed turned out to be Avro 504, a popular World War I bomber.
