The Dutch East India Company, officially the United East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost Indische Compagnie, VOC), was a multinational corporation founded by a government-directed consolidation of several rival Dutch trading companies (voorcompagnieën) in the early 17th century. It is believed to be the largest company to ever have existed in recorded history. It was established on March 20, 1602, as a chartered company to trade with Mughal India.
