Mainly it was signed between  British East India Company and Kingdom of Mysore.

The Third Carnatic war was an end to the French ambitions to create a colonial empire in India. The French forces in the south were led by Conte De Lally.

The English East India Company was formed in 1600 and received Royal Charter from Queen Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600. It was established to pursue trade in Indian Subcontinent.

The Treaty of Pondicherry was signed in 1754 bringing an end to the Second Carnatic War. It was agreed and signed in the French settlement of Puducherry in French India. By this treaty both the sides agreed not to interfere in the internal affairs of the princely states and returned each other's territories captured during the war. 

Joseph François Dupleix was appointed as  Governor-General of the French East India Company, who pursued an aggresive policy towards the English. He led the French during the First Carnatic War.

The Carnatic Wars were a series of military conflicts in the middle of the 18th century in India. The conflicts involved numerous nominally independent rulers and their vassals, struggles for succession and territory, and included a diplomatic and military struggle between the French East India Company and the British East India Company. They were mainly fought on the territories in India which were dominated by the Nizam of Hyderabad up to the Godavari delta. As a result of these military contests, the British East India Company established its dominance among the European trading companies within India. The French company was pushed to a corner and was confined primarily to Pondichéry. The East India company's dominance eventually led to control by the British Company over most of India and eventually to the establishment of the British Raj.

With the termination of the War of Austrian Succession in Europe, the First Carnatic War also came to an end. In the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748), Madras was given back to the British in exchange for the French fortress of Louisbourg in North America, which the British had captured.

The outbreak of the Seven Years' War in Europe in 1756 resulted in renewed conflict between French and British forces in India. The Third Carnatic War put an end to the French ambitions to create a colonial empire in India.The British forces defeated the French in the Battle of Wandiwash in 1760.
