When he was only 21, he started his company called TAC Security Solutions, which uses ethical hacking as a way of testing the security systems of their clients. His clients include companies such as: Reliance, CBI, Punjab Police, Gujarat Police, Amul, and Avon Cycles.
At an early age, Trishneet showed an interest in computers to the detriment of his studies. His parents scolded him, and friends use to make fun of him for it. It had such an impact on his schooling that he failed high school, and he had to make up for it, graduating via correspondence courses.
Trishneet nevertheless followed his passion, and it seems to have paid off.
