The English set up their first factory in Surat with the permission of Jahangir, who was the fourth Mughal emperor of India. Jahangir reigned from 1605 to 1627 and was known for his tolerant policies towards foreigners, particularly the European traders. He was open to establishing diplomatic and commercial relations with foreign powers, which contributed to the expansion of trade and commerce during his reign.
