The chairman in question is her parent, Sri Ram, and together they
run Supreme Creations, the UK's largest producer of reusable shopping
bags made from natural fibres.
For 16 years the business has been
making jute, canvas and cotton bags for everyone from UK supermarkets
Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's, to US sportswear giant Nike, and fashion
retailer Top Shop.
Set up by Mr Ram, his daughter convinced him to let her join the business six years ago when she was 22.
He made her work her way up from the bottom at the firm's London head office.
When
Ms Sriram joined the company it only made plain reusable bags, but her
big idea was to introduce fashion designs. And as a result, sales rose
sharply, and last year she was made chief executive.
