Avarice and the East India Company's institutional motive

Was the East India Company an example of an evil corporation behind British mercantile warfare?

Avaricious is the more precise description here, with profit-seeking identified as the institutional motive.

A viewer invokes the East India Company to challenge any suggestion that British imperial warfare lacked commercial motives. "Evil" is treated as an imprecise label if it implies violence for its own sake. Avarice, or the pursuit of profit, is presented as the stronger and more persistent institutional motive. The distinction does not excuse the Company's conduct; it directs attention to how commercial incentives can produce coercion and destruction without cruelty being the stated goal.
