The 23- year- old Trishneet Arora has a lot going on in his plate, including a multi-million dollar business built at the young age of 21. Head of TAC Security, a firm that works in cyber security, Arora became obsessed with computers and hacking since he was in the 8th grade. "I was so immersed in computing and hacking that I could not study for two subjects. I did not appear for them and failed in Std 8," he said.
While most big career achievements are backed with a stellar academic performance, Arora was an outcast with his bad grades. However, he had his mind set on what he wanted to do, and quit regular schooling to start giving his entire time to his passion. Trishneet kept updating himself on the latest in the hacking world and realised that data were stolen from several companies and being misused. It wasn't until he proved it, that people took him seriously. At the age of 22, he founded TAC Security and roped in Reliance, CBI, Punjab police, Gujarat police, Amul, and Avon Cycles as his clients.
Despite a lack of proper, formal training, Arora has managed to get 50 of Fortune 500 companies in his client list. Today, his business makes a turnover that runs in millions of rupees every year, and he has offices in Dubai and United Kingdom. He has also authored three books namely Hacking Talk with Trishneet Arora, The Hacking Era, and Hacking with Smart Phones.
