Answer 2

Answer:

The "first English factory" was setup in India in "January 1613" in "Surat". The rights for setting up a factory were given through a treaty signed by Mughal emperor, Jahagir after the impressive display of warfare by the English in the battle of Swally. This battle was fought between the Portuguese and the English, with the latter being led by captain Thomas Best. Best and his men managed to sink four Portuguese ship and earn the Mughals’ favour.
