About Us

Aubrey King-Lee is a Bangalore-born Anglo-Indian professional whose career blends business expertise with grassroots social enterprise. Armed with an MBA, he chose an unconventional path—leaving the corporate world to work in rural Madhya Pradesh, where he is building a village-based soap manufacturing start-up. His venture focuses on local sourcing, community employment, and sustainable small-scale production, reflecting his commitment to practical impact and inclusive growth.

Aubrey is deeply connected to his Anglo-Indian and Indian heritage, and explores this identity through both his work and his writing. In 2026, he will be presenting The Indian in Me at the 13th Anglo-Indian Reunion in Kochi, where he will share his personal journey of heritage, belonging, and rediscovery.

He represents a new generation of Anglo-Indians who honour their past while contributing meaningfully to India’s present.

Harry MacLure is a prominent Anglo-Indian writer, editor, and filmmaker based in Chennai. Best known as the founder and editor of Anglos In The Wind, the longest-running international magazine dedicated to Anglo-Indian culture and issues, he has spent decades documenting, preserving, and celebrating the history and lived experiences of the community.

A passionate storyteller, Harry has written extensively about Anglo-Indian life through articles, short stories, and scripts that capture the humour, struggles, and evolving identity of the community. His creative work extends to film; he wrote and directed the feature film Going Away (2013), notable for being one of the first fully Anglo-Indian–funded and produced films. His projects often explore themes of belonging, migration, identity, and the bittersweet nostalgia of a community shaped by both British and Indian heritage.

Deeply connected to Chennai’s Anglo-Indian circles, Harry is widely respected for giving voice to stories that might otherwise be forgotten. Through his writing, film, and editorial work, he continues to be one of the most recognisable cultural chroniclers of Anglo-Indian life in India and abroad.

Dr Richard Johnson, a long-time academic and researcher, has turned his skills towards uncovering the missing Indian link in his own family history — a personal “cold case” of identity. He works collaboratively with a diverse international group of Anglo-Indians, including filmmakers, artists, writers, researchers, and professionals, all united by the goal of recognising and celebrating the Indian heritage within Anglo-Indian culture.

He contributes to several group projects, including a research-informed fictional film, a book of illustrations, and an international virtual roundtable on The Indian In Me. His primary focus remains mapping his own family tree with an emphasis on rediscovering his Indian connection, a journey shared through collective resources and stories on the group’s website.

Richard previously contributed to the Passage from India exhibition at the Immigration Museum in Melbourne. Born in Gaya and having migrated to Australia in 1969, he has long embraced Australian life — especially its sporting culture.

A few months after turning fifty, André Alphonso left a successful corporate career, including serving as Managing Director of an international consulting firm, to start his own business. After 38 years away from India, he returned with his family for four years to launch his first venture — an experience he calls the adventure of a lifetime.

Since then, André has founded and led multiple companies in corporate training, consulting, coaching, and mindfulness across India and Australia, now working with clients worldwide. His career has always centred on developing human potential, though he most identifies with being an “adventurer”, collecting experiences rather than things.

He co-authored Strategic Connections (2015) and was featured in 50 Unsung Business Heroes (2019). Born in Calcutta and raised in Sydney, André has long explored questions of identity and heritage. His time living in India helped him embrace “the Indian in me”, making his involvement in this project a natural and meaningful continuation of that journey.

Richard remains closely connected to India through ongoing work as General Counsel to companies in energy, mining, health, farming, media, and IT, and through his continued use of Hindi in professional settings across India and Southeast Asia. He is keen to learn from others’ experiences of cultural identity and heritage and looks forward to contributing to shared discussions within the group.
