who owns blackburn rovers

Blackburn Rovers are owned by the Indian poultry and pharmaceutical group Venky’s, which is controlled by the Rao family.

Current owners

• The club was bought in late 2010 by Venky’s, a company run by the Rao family from India.

• Venky’s completed the acquisition through a vehicle called Venky’s London, which became the holding company for Blackburn Rovers.

Key people behind Venky’s

• Venky’s is part of the wider VH Group, led by members of the Rao family, including Anuradha Desai and her brothers Balaji and Venkatesh Rao.

• The takeover came after the Jack Walker Trust, which had previously owned the club, decided to sell and sought new investors.

Ownership situation today

• Venky’s remain the long‑term owners and continue to fund the club rather than placing it officially up for sale, despite fan debate about their tenure.

• Their ownership has been marked by significant financial injections but also criticism from supporters who feel on‑pitch progress has stalled.
