17th century Factories
Listed below are some of the early trading posts set up by the East India Company. The Company initially concentrated on the East Indies spice trade but was vigorously opposed by the Dutch. The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 saw the cessation of all Dutch activities in the Indian subcontinent and all English activities in the East Indies.

Pulau Tidore in the Moluccas. Founded 1604.
Masulipatam
Machilipatnam on the Coromandel Coast. The first trading post on the subcontinent was founded in 1611.
