East India company was one of the most known and most successful company of 17th to 2000's century. It is regarded with before the independence of Pakistan and India. According to the current business companies and other famous companies in the world, East India company was valued at an amazing and a huge price of $7.9 trillion. This company came to establish in 16th century when Amsterdam was at it's peak. The East India company took it's origin from Netherlands when Dutch traders were worried about their degrading trades along the along and across England.

Establishment:

The mighty East India company came to it's origin in 1602 when Dutch felt that their trades are going in great losses. Dutch traders allowed the company to make it's trades throughout the whole Asia and in some other parts of the world near to the English lands. Though Asia was a bit far from England but they managed to make their trades run. The main purpose of the company was to provide Spices across Europe and Indonesia. As spices were considered as the life's staple, and spices were also very rarely produced. This provided the company a very great value at that time when it started trading spices. The company than became more prominent and had managed to gather around 70 thousands workers in 1600's. The East India company was the only company at that time to go in to the stock exchange and was the first public company at that time.

Network:

East India company seeing their needs at that time, built their own shipyard and made some other bases which were count to be around hundreds. Even the East India company built their own army to protect their lands and their ports to make their business run properly and carefully. When the company started growing well, they even bought a lot of lands for their company to make it spread more and more. They even started making their colonies in some areas the keep their grip strengthen.

The army that this was used for protection of this company was once used in a war against Spanish army in 1990's. This army gained that much power and popularity that that asked the Mughal rulers of India to provide them the permission to make their business run throughout the whole India. But their purpose was never to run their business. They had dreamed of ruling over the whole Hindustan. And they made their dream come true when they realised that Mughal rulers are doped under their work and they are not putting their efforts on their people. At that time Mughal rulers were so much dull that they could barely handle their government over the whole country. Mughal rulers become weaker and weaker in power, and Dutch army marched over the whole Hidustan and their leaders. Mughal leaders did not even find the place to fight back properly, even they were searching the place to hide themselves somewhere. It was the whole era when Dutch army and East India Company took over the entire country and established their business.

How did the company become so powerful?

Spices:

Tulips:

As the company was making its business more good and they were making good output from their trades. But rather this business of spices, the company's major trade was Tulips. Tulips business was their most important and profitable business at that time. Tulips was considered as the society's status which was produced in Turkey and reached to Amsterdam. The flower almost took 12 months to bloom a and their duration of blooming was up to a week. As the Dutch were the pioneers of the business, so they had the rights of trading Tulips even when they were not blooming. Then tulips prices went higher and even higher according to the demands from countries across the world which made this company reached a whooping amount of value at $7.9 trillion.

Comparison to the current companies values:

Off course the companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon are making a lot of profit and they are making a lot of money. The owners of these companies are now the world's richest people in the current time. But, if you want to compare the value of East India company at that time with the value of these all companies of modern time, then you would get to a point that East India company was worth more than 3 times than these companies of today.

But the company could not last longer, because of fall in trades and the too high prices of their goods. The buyers boycott their products and the company faced a lot of losses. Government took over the company as it was badly effecting the country's economy.
