The English East India Company established its first factory in...?
Explanation:
The English East India Company was granted permission by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir to establish its first factory in Surat in 1608.
Surat, located in present-day Gujarat, India, was a major port and trading hub during the Mughal era, making it an ideal location for the Company's operations.
This marked the beginning of the East India Company's commercial and later political influence in the Indian subcontinent.
