The CEO and founder of TAC Security,
Trishneet Arora, is one of the brightest young entrepreneurs of 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 cybersecurity, 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
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 of 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 of 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 of 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 entrepreneurs of 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.
