Answer:

The British East India Company came to India as traders in spices, a very important commodity in Europe back then as it was used to preserve meat.
Apart from that, they primarily traded in silk, cotton, indigo dye, tea and opium.
They landed in the Indian subcontinent on August 24, 1608, at the port of Surat.
