There was little trade between India and Europe in the Middle Ages - and it was indirect - the rise of Islam meaning that the direct sea connection via the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean being rather difficult for Christian Europeans (to put the matter mildly).
There was some important trade in the early middle ages between India and Scandinavia (via what is now Russia) with steel to be made into some famous Viking swords coming from India, but the rise of the nomad tribes on the steppe largely ended this trade. Crucible steel was not seen in Europe again for centuries.

The Arab merchants carried the Asian Merchandise into Constantinople of Eastern Roman (Byzantium) Empire. Italian merchants would buy these goods and then sell in European countries. There was a great demand for Indian spices like pepper, cardamom, Ginger and many other spices in Europe. Like this, Constantinople was the center of international business and considered as the ‘Gate of European Trade’, while Arab merchants had gained a monopoly over the trade in Europe, the merchandise from Asia had brought good profits to Italian merchants.
