Chandigarh, Oct 1, 2025 — Punjab has secured a strong presence in the Hurun India Rich List 2025, with a blend of industrial stalwarts and new-age entrepreneurs showcasing the state’s diverse economic power. From textile and cycle tycoons to food, healthcare, and cybersecurity leaders, Punjab’s contribution spans across sectors.

At the forefront of the younger generation is Trishneet Arora, Founder, Chairman and Group CEO of TAC Security, _who has been ranked the 5th youngest wealth creator in India._ At just 31, his net worth has surged from ₹1,100 crore in 2024 to ₹1,830 crore (USD 215 million) in 2025, lifting his overall national ranking from 1,463rd to 1,207th. For the second year in a row, he also remains the youngest entrepreneur from Punjab to feature on the prestigious list.

Arora, the only cybersecurity entrepreneur in the youngest category, has built TAC Security into a global powerhouse serving 6,000+ clients across 100 countries, including Fortune 500 firms and governments. The company’s IPO in 2024 was the most subscribed in Indian capital market history, and the stock has since surged more than 1,400% in nine months. He also spearheads CyberScope, TAC’s Web3 arm, which is preparing for an international listing with an exclusive CoinMarketCap partnership.
