Reorganisation of the French Company

In 1720, the French company was reorganised as the ‘Perpetual Company of the Indies’ which revived its strength. This was

further enhanced by the stewardship of two active and wise governors, Lenoir and Dumas, between 1720 and 1742. Further, the French India was backed by the French possession of Mauritius and Reunion in the southern Indian Ocean.
