TORONTO – Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty paid a visit Tuesday to Xtreme Labs, which develops mobile applications for smart phones and digital tablets in downtown Toronto.
Founded by Amar Varma and Sundeep Madra, the company has quickly grown from two to 50 employees just over two years and was recently named one of the 50 Hottest Emerging Companies in Canada for 2010 by PROFIT magazine. Premier McGuinty toured the Xtreme Labs' office while meeting with some of its employees. Xtreme Labs' mobile application experts were on hand to showcase and test-drive some of its top applications for the Premier.
