In 1526, famously with the use of cannons, which had not been used in a significant way in the Indian subcontinent until that time, Babur was able to defeat Ibrahim Lodi of the Delhi Sultanate and come to power in northern India. And you can see in this blue-gray color, this is the territory that Babur was able to rule over until his death in 1530. Mogul is just the Persian word for Mongol. Remember, Babur is a descendant of Timur, who is a Turco-Mongolian conqueror. On his mother's side, he claims descendancy from Genghis Khan, but Persian is the language of his court, and so it significantly increases the Persian influence in north Indian culture. After his death, his son Humayun comes to power. Humayun has difficulty retaining power.
