Firstly, there wasnt just one East India Company, the british, french, dutch, spanish, Portuguese, swedish and danish all had east India companies. Secondly, the east India companies all focussed around one particular thing, profit through trading. This was achieved by trading with the forign nations mainly in India and the East Indies such as the Maratha Confederacy and the Mughal Empire. When they traded with them, they did two things, on the voyage there, the ships were full of cheap cargo from Europe and the Americas such as Tobacco, Iron, Steel and Weapons which were sold expensively in India, then they filled the ships with cargo from India such as Spices, Tea and Silk. These ships then sailed back to their home countries and sold these goods in the east India docks to the public expensively as they were very rare commodities in Europe. So basically, the purpose of the East India Companies was to primarily import and export goods which benefited their nations but they also made profit using supply and demand just like most companies do.
