The subcontinent was famous for its spices, cotton and other raw materials and on the other hand the British was experiencing Industrial revolution so the EIC wanted gain advantage from the trade between subcontinent. Thus they established their base in subcontinent. Secondly, EIC feared that the french or the Portuguese would initiate trade in India and would have monopoly over trade in subcontinent. The Dutch had already achieved monopoly over trade in East Indies so as an alternative, the EIC turned to India. Finally, the decline of Mughal empire gave them a chance to take over subcontinent's wealth, thus they were interested in india
