Shilen Patel is an entrepreneur and investor who became West Bromwich Albion’s chairman when Bilkul Football WBA completed its takeover of the club’s parent company on 28 February 2024. The club identifies Patel and his father, Dr Kiran C. Patel, as indirect holders of significant interests in Bilkul Football WBA, so Patel should not be described as the sole individual owner.
How Shilen Patel became West Brom chairman
Bilkul Football WBA, LLC completed its acquisition of West Bromwich Albion Group Limited on 28 February 2024. West Brom’s takeover announcement said the company was ultimately owned by Shilen Patel and his father, Dr Kiran C. Patel.

West Brom currently lists Patel as chairman and statutory director. The club also describes him as chairman, president and co-founder of Bilkul Football Group. The club’s accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025 identify Shilen Patel and his father as Bilkul Football WBA’s ultimate controlling parties.
