- In 1616, the Danish East India Company was created, and in 1620, they opened a factory in Tranquebar, near Tanjore, on India’s eastern coast.
- Serampore, near Calcutta, was their main settlement. In 1845, the Danish industries were sold to the British government, despite the fact that they were unimportant at the time.
