Entrepreneur, Life Skills Trainer And Author, Jeyasree Ravi Is A Woman Of Multiple Facets. From A Young Child Who Went Everywhere Her Mother Went, Today She Is A Well-Known And Respected Businesswoman In The Silk Industry.
Born in the first family of Kanjeevaram Silk, the youngest child of Nalli Kuppuswamy Chetty and Alamelu, Jeyasree grew up in and around silk. “Nalli is synonymous with silk that’s how I grew up. My mother is from Kumbakonam. Her father, my grandfather SRG Ranganathan was into ‘pattu’ - silk sarees. During our holidays when we went to Kumbakonam it was once again all about silk. In my maternal grandparents’ home whenever we crossed the backyard to go to the restrooms outside, we would encounter the silk dyeing area. The front of the house was all about the weavers and distribution. My grandfather was the supplier of high quality Kumbakonam silk and when my mother got married, he supplied his entire production to Nalli. Back home it was again about silk sarees. So today when I think about this, it was no surprise that I developed such a love for Kanjeevaram silk and the silk business.”
However, growing up, Jeyasree never thought that she would become what she is today. In those days it was understood that the sons would take over the business while the daughters would get married and take of their families. Jeyasree would have followed the same path, but when destiny has some other plans then things do not go as one thinks they would.
