Putting dedication on new high’s he is building multiple businesses one after the another. We asked some quick questions to him to get better insights into his serial entrepreneurial phase and of course his subtle art of ethical hacking.
What is the most serious challenge you faced ?
“Skilled manpower”. All traditional corporate methods of hiring skilled people didn’t really work in our case, probably because of the unique elite and out of the box skills required to get hired. After 2017 many colleges and universities throughout the world started with different hacking courses but they are not able to prepare students as per cyber security industry standards. 2014-2017 was tough in terms of finding skilled people in cyber security.
So what exactly did you do to manage that challenge ?
We recently had the acquisition of a training institute that will fulfill the HR needs of our company by training the beginners and making them deemed fit to get HIRED! . I can’t say again that we are the best ethical hacking institute in India but yes I am ambitious about this venture and surely make it worth of my time . . Educating and delivering awareness became a hobby to me and it felt great to enlighten society.
What is the scope of ethical hacking in India ?
Genuinely a lot of space is still there in the industry to accommodate a lot of ethical hackers but the real problem is we have so many self claimed ethical hackers around us, too many of them indeed! Which means they think they are employable but actually they aren’t considering the gap between the knowledge they acquired and the kind of knowledge the industry requires.
How to learn ethical hacking in India ?
If you ask about the formal education system, Yes recently 2017 onwards many private universities started providing education in cyber security but unfortunately most of them are for the name sake or business sake with such courses having higher fee structures . Moreover, it’s rare to see any exceptional cyber security teacher providing classes in universities. The same Java professor or C++ professor is teaching cyber security.
How to pursue ethical hacking in India ?
Practically saying there are a lot of further subjects and fields inside ethical hacking so one can’t be the jack of all but yes beginners should do all subjects once and according to personal interest he/she can further choose a particular dimension as a career.
What other business do you owe ?
I recently developed my hobby of premium domain names trading and slowly it is turning out a good business brand value for me.At present I hold stake in 2000+ domains . Web development company, Digital marketing business, Indian institute of ethical hacking, CSEH, IIDM, HND media are some of names In my bucket.
Mr Chhabra believes that the company is going to have a great year when it comes to growth in 2020. This could also be a year of reckoning for the entire company group.Thank you very much Mr Singh for your time.
