A woman is launching her new business app this month.

More than 500 business have already signed up to her app directory for Londoners, called Aunty Ji.

It has been created by Manasi Adholiya and will be launched alongside the Mayor of Harrow, Margaret Davine and the Mayoress Marilyn Davine at Harrow Civic Centre.

The free app will provide a platform of exposure to small and start-up businesses in London. Ms Adholiya says it is like “a local directory for people like tutors, photographers, plumbers, bakers, and make-up artists”.

The free app, Aunty Ji, will be available to download on the App Store and Google Play.

The launch was scheduled to take place on December 10 but was postponed due to the snow. A new date for the launch later this month has not yet been set.
