Explain briefly about the early entrepreneurs?
Indian entrepreneurs play a vital role in foreign trade. They have managed to foster Indian products in the foreign market and give an international recognition to the Indian products. They have traded their products with outside countries and made them popular. In Bombay, Dinshaw Petit and Jamsetjee Nusserwanjee Tata built huge industrial empires in India. They accumulated their initial wealth partly from exports to China and partly from raw cotton shipments to England. Merchants from Madras traded with Burma, Middle East and East Africa. Other trading activities included carrying goods from one place to another, banking, transferring funds between cities and financing traders. However, Indian traders were barred from trading with Europe in manufactured goods and had to export raw materials and food grains required by the British. They were also gradually edged out of the shipping business.
