Dundee became wealthy primarily through its booming jute industry in the 19th century, which was heavily reliant on raw jute imported from India, particularly from the Bengal region. The city developed into a major center for jute processing, leading to significant economic growth. Additionally, the establishment of trade relationships and the expansion of the textile industry in Dundee further contributed to its prosperity, creating a cycle of wealth that benefited both the city and its Indian suppliers.
