I want to know the answer to the following question:
the east india company changed how it did business by moving from  focusing on royal patronage to what type of business?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The company, which benefited from the imperial patronage, soon expanded its commercial trading operations, eclipsing the Portuguese Estado da Índia, which had established bases in Goa, Chittagong, and Bombay, which Portugal later ceded to England as part of the dowry of Catherine de Braganza.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
