The answer is Joseph Marquis Dupleix 

Joseph Marquis Dupleix (1697 - 1763) was appointed the Governor-General of French India in 1742, during the reign of Louis XV.

He was a shrewd administrator who worked tirelessly to advance French interests in India, at a time when the British were also working towards the same goal and there was distrust and animosity between the two powers.

Joseph Marquis Dupleix made use of the frequent disputes between Indian rulers and princes, to gain their trust and establish French business and trade.
