AppLabs, the world’s largest independent quality management and testing company, today announced that it ranked 45th on Deloitte’s 2007 Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies headquartered in North America. These rankings are based on percentage of fiscal year revenue growth over five years, from 2002–2006. AppLabs grew 3680% during this period.
AppLabs’ Founder, Chairman and CEO, Sashi Reddi, credits hard work and commitment of all the AppLabs employees and the clients who have been there throughout the journey, with the company’s phenomenal revenue growth over the past five years. Reddi continues, “It is an honor to be named in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and we are indeed proud to be within the top 50 of the fastest growing companies in North America. This recognition not only reflects our commitment and dedication to customer service from our employees across the globe, but is also a validation of our growth strategy.”

"We congratulate AppLabs on this significant accomplishment."
