'''Bombay Shipping and Iron Shipping Companies''' was established in 1863 to make [[merchant]]s in [[Mumbai]], [[India]] (also known as Bombay) independent of the [[English people|English]].

The company was created at a time when the cotton trade was undergoing such a turbulent time, therefore businessmen were looking to banking and stockbroking as a way to make their fortune. The shipping firm was thus bought up by shareholders, and the shares of the company increased in value by 200%.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Mackenzie Maclean|first1=James|title=Guide To Bombay: Historical, Statistical, and Descriptive|date=30 September 2011|publisher=Nabu Press|isbn=1247119831|page=112}}</ref>
