East India Company came to India in 1600 and set a foundation for 200 year rule of British Empire over Indian subcontinent. 136 years after abolishment of East India Company, there is an Indian who has bought this company but this time the company will do something very different. Rajiv Mehta, an Indian entrepreneur has registered a company named East India Company to start a luxury food in London. This has nothing to do with old East India Company. Name seems to be one of the most eye catching in recent years. High end food stuff would include Earl Grey Tea, single-estate coffee and speciality marmalade.
East Indian company is said to be responsible for taking away koh-i-noor diamond from India which the biggest diamond of the world at that time. David Cameron came under pressure, last week in India, to return the Gem. However, Mr. Mehta has suffered no criticism while buying the registration of East India Company.
Mr. Mehta said that he has made an investment of £12 million. His employee strength is 35 and he aims a profit of £ 60 million from his investments.
