Akorbi’s fast-growth can be attributed to the fact that it’s one of the most diversified companies in the language services industry. In the last few years, the company has expanded globally and added a variety of new services, including multilingual staffing, business process outsourcing, multilingual call centers, eLearning, interpretation, video remote technologies and so much more.
Akorbi also continues to improve its competitive edge by developing proprietary technology. This year, the company introduced its ADAPT platform which, among other things, is helping companies in the healthcare industry be compliant with Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. Section 1557 prohibits using non-certified interpreters, except in emergency situations. Akorbi’s ADAPT platform gives healthcare providers access to certified interpreters and translators, from any service provider, in every mode of communication (voice, video and in-person) through a single, secure platform.
“We are extremely honored to be part of this exclusive list with so many impressive and fast-growing companies,” said Azam Mirza, President and co-founder of Akorbi. “Our growth wouldn’t be possible without the support and dedication of our more than 600 team members around the world, including our co-founder Claudia Mirza, who work tirelessly to support our global clients and make Akorbi an industry leader.”
The Inc. 5000 is the most competitive list of fast-growing private companies. This year, the average three-year growth rate was a staggering 433% and the aggregate revenue was $200 billion. The companies generated 640,000 jobs from 2012-2015 – about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that time. The complete results of the Inc. 5000 can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
