Kenneth Peter Lyle Mackay is the fourth [[Earl of Inchcape]] [http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1179391.cms]. The Inchcape family has a longstanding connection with India. According to ''The Economic Times'' of India,
:"The Inchcape family were early investors in jute through Nadia and Ganges Jute Mill, [and] initiated banking business in the sub-continent with HSBC and Stanchart. It rose to emerge as the second most powerful managing agency after the East India Company, [and the] Inchcape family also promoted Binny’s, Jenson & Nicholson, Garden Reach Workshop and Kilburn Engineering."

The Guardian reports:

:The family has a three per cent stake in the [[Inchcape Corporation]] - which over the past 18 months has sold off several business divisions, from bottling plants in Chile to global shipping services, to concentrate on its core motor business - trading in 30 countries. The sell-offs raised £600m, but the transition to global vehicle distributor was complete when Inchcape paid just £6m for a stake in Autobytel.Europe and took its car business online.

In July 2005 the current Earl revived his family's connection with India by joining the board of [[Assam Oil & Natural Gas]] [http://www.domain-b.com/industry/oil_gas/20050718_k_k_jajodia.html] [http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1179391.cms]
