The way things are going FIDE might consider dropping the 'Junior under 20' title and call it the 'Chess World Championship' Qualifying for senior events start when players are over 25. (Good Luck Shreyas and Iwan)

A last round win (instead of the loss) would have been a very respectable result (I should say that even this result is good in this field). For context, the top seed (Daniel Dardha, 2652) was also on 6.5/10 going into the final round and won to finish towards the top). The Indian teenage star Pranav V was leading on 8.5/10 and drew to secure the title with 9/11.

How many times will Shreyas be able to enter this event?

He's born in 2009 so four more?
