The port of Surat is the right answer.
The British agents entered the territory of Indian sub-continent as traders seeking spices. The main rea-son for spice trade was that the spices were the main way of preserving meat in Europe. Therefore, their need for spices urged them to explore areas that were producing spices; their exploration led them to find a place like India which had enormous kind of spices. After all, they met their demand. Thereafter they settled at the port of Surat on August 24, 1608, with the purpose of trading.
