During the 1700s, various European powers established trading stations along the Indian coast, with the British East India Company and the French East India Company being the most prominent. The British set up significant trading posts in places like Bombay (Mumbai), Madras (Chennai), and Calcutta (Kolkata). The Dutch and Portuguese also maintained trading stations, although their influence waned by this period. These trading stations facilitated the exchange of goods such as spices, textiles, and other commodities.
