The British had bribed Mughal officials into granting rights of three cities, Gobindapur, Sutanuti and Kalikata, to the British East India Company in 1651. The British built a factory and warehouse there, where goods for export were stored, and many offices were built where company officials sat. This became the base for the company's trades, known as factors. As trade increased the company persuaded merchants and traders to settle there. Suta in Bengali means thread and soon Sutanuti came the patronage of the East India company.
