The CEO and founder of TAC Security, Trishneet Arora, is one of the
brightest young entrepreneurs in India. He is also the writer of several
books about ethical hacking, web defence, and cybersecurity. At just 25 years
of age, he has a net worth of $1milliion-$5million. Apart from helping several
corporate bodies with cyber security, he has also worked with the Gujarat and
Punjab police departments, teaching them about cyber-security and helping them
solve cases related to cybercrime.
Early experiments
Trishneet Arora was born in Ludhiana, Punjab, on 2nd November
1993. His journey towards becoming one of the best entrepreneurs in India
began at a young age of 11 when his father gifted him a computer. Trishneet
immediately fell in love with the machine and started fiddling around with it.
After the computer crashed one day, he took it to a repair shop. There,
he watched the technicians as they worked on his computer and noted exactly the
things they did. He turned this into a habit, experimenting with the computer
and taking it to the repair shop. This way, he came to know about computer
hardware. He went to YouTube to learn more about computers and shared his new
findings on his blog every day.
In spite of being a bright child, Trishneet failed his 8th
standard exams and he had to skip 9th standard. His class X exams
were completed via correspondence. When he was 16, he went to Chandigarh, 100
km away from Ludhiana. There he made some good friends pursuing engineering and
from them, he learned the basics of cybersecurity.
While learning about cybersecurity, he also wrote his first book, which
was a huge achievement for him at that age. He wanted to share his knowledge
with the rest of the world but his book did not do very well. Nevertheless, he
wasn't going to give up on his dreams because of this minor setback and kept
pushing to become one of the top 10 entrepreneurs in India.
Starting his own company
In 2012, Trishneet Arora launched TAC Security, an IT security firm by
partnering with his brother Avneet Singh Arora. Since the brothers had no prior
background in business, they faced some difficulties initially while setting up
the firm. They needed to do a lot of paperwork to get the company registered
and this took a toll on Trishneet.
Looking back at this stage of his life, Trishneet says that your passion
for something can help you cross all obstacles and seeing as he is one of the
most successful entrepreneurs in India today, we can agree with him.
Within the first week of launching his company, Trishneet got his first order
from a particular company asking him to provide security for their web
business.
Since then, TAC security hasn’t had to look back.
Today, his company provides security consulting, solutions, and training for
its customers. In Ludhiana, he delivered a speech at a cyber-crime conference
where many senior police officers were present. Impressed by his speech, these
officials from Ludhiana police to make a workshop about cyber-crime. After this,
the Gujarat police also approached him to conduct a training session related to
forensics and cyber-crime investigation.
Within a short period of time, Trishneet started training police
personnel about cybercrime and today he works alongside the CBI for solving
cyber-crime issues. This is how he gained fame as an ethical hacker. So apart
from being one of the most successful young entrepreneurs in India, he
also helps the authorities catch hackers who misuse their abilities. Trishneet
recognizes the meteoric rise of cyber-crime in the country and is committed to
eradicating it.
When it comes to cyber-crime, Trishneet's approach is a bit different.
Most cybersecurity professionals take action after the crime has occurred, but
his company provides advanced solutions to the customers so that they can
secure their systems before an attack occurs. He is a firm believer in customer
satisfaction and makes sure all their demands are fulfilled. Hailing from a
humble, middle-class background, Trishneet Arora managed to launch one of the
biggest cybersecurity firms in the country and today he is one of the top entrepreneursin India.
Apart from the Gujarat and Punjab police departments, his company’s customers include big
names like ICICI Bank and Reliance Industries Ltd. He is currently negotiating
with other clients and trying to secure some deals. He has won numerous awards
like the State Award from the Punjab Chief Minister, the Punjabi Icon Award,
and has been featured in the 50 Most Influential Young Indians by GQ magazine
in 2017.
Today, Trishneet is expanding his business and setting up new offices in
Gujarat and Mumbai. He is also expanding overseas. The number of achievements
he has made at such a young age is indeed impressive.
