Robert Clive and Warren Hastings played pivotal roles in strengthening the East India Company through military conquests and administrative reforms. Clive's victory at the Battle of Plassey in 1757 established British control over Bengal, providing substantial revenue and resources. Hastings further consolidated power by implementing legal and administrative changes that improved governance and efficiency, which enhanced the Company's influence and profitability in India. Their leadership facilitated the transition from a trading company to a dominant political entity in the region.
