turner, the Queen of Speed, is the CEO of Koovs, which bills itself as 'the fastest- growing fashion company for the young style-conscious consumer in India'. The sub-continent's equivalent of ASOS sells Western fashion, designed in London, for aspirational Indian women and men. The site started out life as a sort of Groupon collective buying hub for electronics, based in Bangalore, but in 2013 was subtly remodelled by Anant Nahata, the scion of one of India's telecoms dynasties.

It is chaired by UK peer Waheed Alli and the board includes Emily Sheffield, the deputy editor of British Vogue (and sister of Samantha Cameron) plus Dame Gail Rebuck, who chairs Penguin Random House. Turner has been the boss for 20 month
