Trishneet Arora: Trishneet Arora, the 30-year-old founder and CEO of TAC Security, has made it to the Hurun India Rich List 2024, ranking 1,463rd with a net worth of Rs 1,100 crore.

From School Dropout to Millionaire
Trishneet wasn’t very good at academics and dropped out of school once in the eighth grade. After resuming his studies, he dropped out again in the twelfth grade. Later, he completed his education through distance learning. He had a keen interest in technology since childhood. Once, he broke his father’s computer. When they went to a mechanic to get it repaired, Trishneet accompanied them and closely observed the process of fixing the computer. This sparked his passion for technology. With the support of his parents, he has reached the successful position he holds today.
Established TAC Security at just 19
Arora, who grew up in a small town in Punjab, developed an early interest in computers that set the stage for his successful cyber security career. In 2013, at just 19, he founded TAC Security, which has since become a key player in protecting digital assets for major companies and governments worldwide.
TAC Security Expanded globally
TAC Security, listed on the NSE as TAC Info Sec Limited (INE0SOY01013), recently announced plans to acquire Cyber Sandia, a well-known American cyber security firm. This strategic move will strengthen TAC Security’s presence in the U.S. public sector, thanks to Cyber Sandia’s State-Wide Agreement with New Mexico for IT Professional Services. This acquisition will help TAC Security expand its services across the U.S., a market that accounts for around 70% of its total revenue.
TAC Security has global clients
Under Arora’s leadership, TAC Security has reached major milestones, securing over 500 clients in 50 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Israel, Australia, and India. The 2024 Hurun India Rich List includes Gautam Adani, who tops the list with an astounding wealth of Rs 11.6 lakh crore. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is also among India’s wealthiest individuals.
Positive Takeaway
India is steadily advancing in the world of tech and cyber security. The growing interest of the youth in this direction will eventually position India as a global leader in the field of technology. Trishneet Arora, by securing a place in prestigious lists like Hurun India through technology, has inspired many other young individuals like himself.
