Yeovil Town Football Club are delighted to announce a transition in ownership, marking a transformative chapter in the club’s history. Inflection Holdings, the family office of Mr Prabhu Srinivasan, has acquired all the shares previously held by The Hellier Trading Group in Yeovil Town Holdings and consequently a majority shareholding in Yeovil Town Football Club.
This is a significant milestone in the club’s history, with the investment being made to augment the future roadmap of the club. The fundamental ethos behind their investment is to build a bright and sustainable future for the club and Yeovil as a town under new leadership. Mr Prabhu assumes the role of Owner and Chairman. His wife, Bhavna, and son, Sahil, join him in this venture, forming a dynamic and dedicated ownership group committed to the club’s future development.
Mr Prabhu is a multi-faceted global leader and entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in banking, retail, technology, travel, real estate, e-waste and wellness. More importantly, he has built one of the largest multi-sports youth platforms in India and the Middle East. His wife, Bhavna, is a seasoned leadership coach and business strategist, widely recognised for her contributions to entrepreneurship and wellness integration. Their son, Sahil, has a deep-rooted passion for football. He has cultivated extensive expertise, having trained in Spain, Germany, the UK and UAE under prestigious league clubs. He has designed proprietary programmes for youth training. His academic focus in sports science at New York University strengthens his understanding of football analytics and strategy. The family now resides in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Mr Prabhu has spent considerable time in Somerset personally working with team members to validate his investment thesis. To reinforce this transformation, he has requested that Stuart Robins continue to be fully involved as Executive Chairman of the club. The two of them together will bring strong leadership and direction.
Executive Chairman Stuart Robins expressed his enthusiasm, stating:
“We are thrilled to welcome Prabhu and his family to our club on this landmark day. Having spent considerable time with Mr Prabhu, I am confident Yeovil Town is in great hands. I’m excited to commit to the long-term vision we have co-created, centred on developing and growing the club for our wonderful supporters.”
Reflecting on his investment, Owner and Chairman Mr Prabhu shared:
“Investing in Yeovil Town Football Club is a moment of immense pride for us. This club’s rich history and potential inspired us, and we are committed to being a responsible steward as we embark on an exciting new journey together. We are focused on making a positive impact on players, fans, employees and the entire community.”
Mr Prabhu was present at Yeovil Town’s home match against Sutton United, where he experienced first-hand the passion of the club’s supporters. He said:
“Despite the result, I witnessed the fans’ outstanding passion. In the middle of the game, I moved to the Thatcher’s Stand to be amongst the fans. I really appreciate and respect the terrific support the team enjoys from its wonderfully loyal fanbase, and I am looking forward to meeting them in the coming weeks! I am excited and proud to lead our unique club into a bright, new, stable future. We are committed to delivering success for you — our amazing supporters, key stakeholders, and the wider Yeovil community.”
