Amazing Success Story of 25-Year-old Cyber Security Millionaire Who Failed 8th Grade

He failed in 8th grade, and now he is a renowned cyber security expert! He is a professional ethical hacker. His name is Trishneet Arora. 

He was just 19 when he started his own company – TAC Security Solutions. He has 4 offices in India and 1 in Dubai. He has trained CBI officials too. Not only this, he has been an advisor to Punjab government and crime branch officials. Trishneet Arora is just 25 and even prestigious firms like Reliance are among his clients. 

Trishneet’s dream is to build a billion dollar cyber security company. Humans of Bombay’s official Facebook page had shared his story. According to the FB post by Humans of Bombay, as a child, Trishneet would enjoy opening up toys and gadgets to see how they work internally as opposed to playing with them. And, when he got a computer at home, he became obsessed. 

Trishneet’s passion grew from playing computer games like Vice City to understand the hardware of the system. His father became worried when he saw him spending so much time on the computer. His father even tried putting a password but Trishneet figured out how to crack it! His father was so impressed that he bought him a new system.

According to his story shared by Humans of Bombay, his parents eventually allowed him to drop out of school but that doesn’t mean he stopped learning. “In fact, my learning grew three fold! I started with small projects — fixing computers and cleaning up software and at the age of 19, I received my first big cheque of 60,000 Rupees. I used everything I had saved to invest in my own company – TAC Security Solutions,” the post reads.

Trishneet tells Humans of Bombay; “The best way to describe my professional title would be to call me an ethical hacker. I would hack people’s systems so that they could see the flaw in them and take over their cyber security. I’m currently the IT advisor to the Punjab State and have held training sessions for the CBI, Punjab State and Crime Branch. Our clients vary from Reliance to Government officials and we’ve recently expanded to have offices in 4 cities in India and 1 in Dubai.”
