In his second attempt, he succeeded in setting up a textile mill in 1861 at Ahmedabad. But before this, the first cotton textile manufacturing unit was already set up by a Parsi,Cowasjee Nanabhoy Davar in Mumbai in 1854 followed by Nawrosjee Wadia, who opened his textile mill in Mumbai in 1880. The credit for the expansion of textile industries upto 1915 goes to the Parsis.

It was the influence of Swadeshi that Jamshedjee Tata even named his first mill ‘Swadeshi Mill’. he credit for this initiation goes to an Indian, Dwarkanath Tagore, who encouraged others to form joint-stock companies and invented a distinct method of management in which management remained in the hands of the ‘firm’ rather than of an ‘individual’. Historical evidences also do confirm that after the East India Company lost monopoly in 1813, the European Managing Agency Houses entered business, trade and banking. And, these houses markedly influenced eastern India’s Industrial scene.
