Three decades later, Sagar is at the helm of making history.

After a successful 23-year career in art auctioning, she will become the first woman auctioneer at the world’s richest franchise cricket league when she takes the stage at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction in Dubai on Tuesday.

More than 300 cricketers will go under the hammer during the day-long event, which will be a break from a trend of only men – Welshman Richard Madley, Briton Hugh Edmeades and Indian Charu Sharma – heading the the event.

“It is extremely exciting to be asked to conduct an IPL auction,” Sagar told Al Jazeera during an hour-long conversation at her office in Mumbai last week.

Sagar was born into a business family in the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra and has lived in the city since returning from the United States, where she graduated with a degree in art history.

Now a modern art specialist and auctioneer at a private auction house in Mumbai, she has long been a pioneer in the global art auction circuit. In 2001, she became the first female auctioneer of Indian descent at international art and luxury company Christie’s.
