For the first time, geoAMPS has earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list, a prestigious ranking of small independent businesses that have seen immense growth over a short span of time. We were ranked as #1646 on the overall list, and this is the result of three-year sales growth of 228%. Leena Madan, our Chief Operations Officer, articulates this privilege, saying “It is our vision that really drives the company. We ask ourselves how we can improve the availability of service and resources that these industries need. Thinking forward has gotten us some reputation, and we are honored to join the list of reputable companies this year.” In addition, the list released this year has been the most competitive in the list’s history. With the average growth among these companies being well into the triple digits, we can expect the competition for the list to increase in the coming years.
