Mumbai : After attending a 'Young Entrepreneurs Networking' meeting with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in Mumbai recently, aReputation, an online reputation management company based in India and the UK, has announced an investment of two million dollars for expanding their UK operations and their headquarters in the UK.

After meeting their Royal Highnesses, Khare said: "We want to improve business ties between the two countries and are keen to engage with all stakeholders. We want to express our gratitude to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for engaging with us personally and offering us their views on how to strengthen the relationship. I want to thank UKTI Global Entrepreneur Programme, VC Unit, and the British High Commission for having us on this delegation."

Alpesh Patel, UKTI Global Entrepreneur Programme's representative, said, 'I am absolutely delighted aReputation will be making this investment into the UK; we've worked hard to make this company a global player from their initial small UK base in Leeds, to now a bigger and ever-growing global operation, including in London.
