Portuguese trade finance in India:
The Portuguese first ventured into the Indian subcontinent in May 1498, when Vasco da Gama reached the coast of Calicut and tried to establish trade links with the Indians.
Though there were initial misunderstandings with the Zamorin of Calicut, later on, it turned out to be a treasure trove for Vasco da Gama.
Trading in spices and other exotic condiments the Portuguese could finance further expeditions for trade as well as prospects of colonisation.
The first Portuguese Viceroy in India was Francisco de Almeida. He initially set up his headquarters in Cochin, but later on in 1510, moved it to Goa.
