Entrepreneurship offers a viable path to economic rejuvenation, and a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem can drive sustainable growth, according to Trishneet Arora, founder of cybersecurity major TAC Security. Arora believes that fostering a culture of entrepreneurship is crucial for revitalizing Punjab’s economy and addressing its financial challenges. He envisions a collaborative effort between entrepreneurs and the government as the key to the state’s prosperity.
Arora suggests a synergistic relationship where the government provides essential infrastructure and policy support, while entrepreneurs drive innovation and growth. This partnership can create an environment conducive to business success, ultimately benefiting Punjab’s economy. “Technology and AI have the potential to revolutionize farming in Punjab by enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices,” Arora said.
TAC Security, listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) with a market capitalization of Rs 800 crore, exemplifies the potential of entrepreneurial success. Arora emphasizes the need for the government to recognize entrepreneurship as a catalyst for change and to create an environment that nurtures and supports business innovation. With a staggering debt of Rs 3.74 lakh crore, Punjab’s financial health urgently needs rejuvenation.
Traditionally driven by agriculture, Punjab’s economy now faces an urgent need for diversification. “With precision farming techniques, real-time data analytics, and AI-driven crop management, farmers can optimize their resources, predict yields, and mitigate risks more effectively,” Arora said. Embracing these advancements will boost agricultural output and improve farmers’ livelihoods, positioning Punjab as a leader in modern farming.
Arora advocates for government initiatives that provide mentorship, invest in education, and foster a conducive business environment. Such efforts can pave the way for new business leaders to emerge. One pressing challenge is the exodus of Punjab’s youth seeking opportunities abroad. To stem this brain drain, Arora stresses the need to create an environment where young talents see a future within the state. This involves job creation, fostering innovation hubs, providing access to capital for startups, and ensuring robust infrastructure.
“By showcasing successful local role models and creating avenues for growth and development, we can motivate our young people to stay and contribute to Punjab’s progress,” Arora said.
