Sangeeta Ahir - Queen Of All Trades

The first female Indian film distributor, a philanthropist, a fashionista and a fitness enthusiast, Sangeeta Ahir is an inspiration to many. In a freewheeling chat with Vogue, Ahir discusses her many ventures and how she juggles multiple roles with ease

Sangeeta Ahir wears many hats, and does so in style. She’s an established Bollywood producer, a fitness expert and nutrition enthusiast, a fashionista who regularly does the rounds of Mumbai’s social circuit, and, in addition to all of that, a social entrepreneur.

Ahir made inroads into the world of filmmaking in the ’90s and rose swiftly to become one of the first female film distributors in the industry. Sitting at the helm of her company, Sangeeta Ahir Moviez, she has been involved with countless Bollywood hits, including Prahaar, Golmaal Again, Baadshaho, and Total Dhamaal, in addition to distributing regional and international blockbusters such as Baahubali and Batman vs Superman. Aside from her expertise in film distribution, Ahir is renowned for her impeccable fashion sense and is a regular at a number of events organised by luxury fashion houses of the likes of Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Christian Dior. In fact, in 2018, she was the only invitee from India’s film industry at the launch of the Gucci Garden event in Florence, Italy.
