A first-time bank account of the East India Company from the perspective of Indian business background.... For over 200 years, the East India Company was the most significant and most powerful mercantile firm in Britain and Asia. Set up to procure Asian goods for British consumers, the business's business network spanned Persia, India, China, Indonesia, and North America. In the late 1700s, its career took a dramatic turn as the Company lost ground as a trading firm, but founded an empire in India. Why does a merchant firm end up being an empire constructor? Why does politics mesh so closely with the conduct of business in this time around? This new bank account of the East India Company answers these questions by taking a fresh go through the world of Indian business. The storyplot fits along many pieces of a vast jigsaw puzzle, and shows how trading in India altered the Company and the way the Company altered Indian business.
