Good morning!
Every week, we bring you extraordinary stories tracing the journeys of innovators from the world of tech and product. Today, we bring you Trishneet Arora’s — cybersecurity expert, tech entrepreneur, business leader, and self-declared chef.
27-year-old Trishneet has, no doubt, had a “phenomenal journey” so far as a cybersecurity wizard and as Founder and CEO of TAC Security, a global security and vulnerability management startup he founded as a 19-year-old boy in 2013.
Today, eight years after TAC Security’s launch, the company is poised to become the largest global player in vulnerability management in the next three years.
The company — which is also the first Indian cybersecurity startup to count the US government among its clients — is now looking to capture over 5 percent of the global security and vulnerability management industry and is targeting $1 billion in revenue by 2025, Trishneet told YourStory.
But Trishneet swears he would rather enjoy the journey, more than the destination. He tells YourStory,
“Cybersecurity is such a large domain and there is a lot more to happen. We are definitely trying to do our best in this space and we would be able to make TAC Security a great company. But I will enjoy the journey more than the destination.”
Here’s more on his journey so far.

Editor’s Pick: Product Roadmap
Bhanu Pratap Singh, Farid Ahsan, and Ankur Saxena had one goal: to build a strong product and tech company out of India. When they graduated in 2014, the trio considered building a debating platform. However, they soon realised debates didn’t have mass appeal. In 2015, they launched Mohalla Tech, ShareChat’s parent company. In six years, the valuation of Made-in-India social media service ShareChat is at $2.1 billion. In July 2020, the company also launched a short video platform Moj, shortly after ByteDance’s TikTok was banned in India. Read more.
