Jigar Sagar began his journey not in boardrooms, but behind the counter of his father’s jewellery store in Sharjah’s Gold Souk.
That early exposure to trade, margins, negotiation, and customer psychology shaped his business instincts long before he held executive titles. What started as a hands-on retail experience evolved into a multi-venture entrepreneurial career spanning investment, advisory, and ecosystem development across the UAE.
Building Scale Across 30+ Ventures
Over 15 years, Sagar has scaled more than 30 ventures collectively valued at over US$350 million. His portfolio reflects diversification rather than dependency. Technology. Services. Ecosystem infrastructure. Early-stage ventures. Strategic advisory.
He has also supported more than 250,000 entrepreneurs across the Middle East through mentorship, structured programs, and ecosystem partnerships.
His approach is disciplined. Identify opportunity gaps. Structure governance early. Embed scalability into the operating model. Then execute with precision.
Founder of Triliv Holdings
As Founder of Triliv Holdings, Sagar leads a family office and investment firm focused on sustainable value creation. Triliv operates as more than a capital provider. It functions as a growth partner.
The firm connects founders with strategic partnerships, operational guidance, and long-term capital alignment. Its philosophy rejects short-term speculation. Success is measured by structural impact, industry contribution, and wealth built with continuity.
Under Sagar’s leadership, Triliv has positioned itself at the intersection of private capital and entrepreneurial acceleration.
Government Advisory and Ecosystem Development
Beyond venture creation, Sagar plays an advisory role to free zones and special economic cities across the UAE. His work centers on modernizing licensing frameworks, enhancing digital government services, and structuring startup-friendly ecosystems.
He contributes to public-private partnership models designed to make regulatory processes faster, clearer, and globally competitive.
His expertise spans corporate governance, startup ecosystem design, and cross-border scaling strategies. The objective remains consistent. Lower friction for founders. Increase structural competitiveness.
Mentor and Industry Voice
Sagar is recognized as a mentor and strategic judge on The Final Pitch Dubai, where he evaluates emerging startups and advises entrepreneurs on growth strategy, capital structure, and market positioning.
His mentorship philosophy emphasizes clarity over hype. Discipline over speed. Systems over shortcuts.
Strategic Outlook
Jigar Sagar represents a hybrid model of entrepreneurship in the UAE. Builder. Investor. Advisor. Ecosystem architect.
From the Gold Souk to multi-venture leadership, his trajectory reflects progression through layers of value creation. Retail to investment. Transaction to infrastructure. Local trade to regional scale.
His work through Triliv signals a broader ambition. Not simply to fund businesses. But to engineer environments where founders can build durable, globally competitive enterprises.
