East India Company, French

a trading company active from 1664 to 1719. It was organized on the initiative of J. B. Colbert to monopolize trade with India.

The French East India Company had several trading posts on the Indian coast, including Masulipatam, Mahe, and Chandannagar. Pondicherry was the center of its possessions in India. The directorship of the company, which was feudal in character, was exercised by the royal government. The company’s development was hindered by petty supervision and regulation of its activities by government commissioners. At the beginning of the 18th century the French East India Company was absorbed by the India Company, which monopolized all of France’s overseas trade.
