Manan opted to pursue a profession in ethical hacking in the future, based on his aptitude for computers. In 2009, he was motivated by a session on the topic at MS University Vadodara. Working with several cyber security cells of various law enforcement agencies allowed him to hone his programming talents and broaden his portfolio.
He also maintains a personal blog where he chronicles his journey and experiences, including the lessons he’s learned, the mistakes he’s made, and the significant gains he’s made. He has also written a number of books on cyber security, ethical hacking, and online defense.

Netflix used Avalance’s ‘Breach and Attack Simulation’ platform, which used duplications of cyber-attack techniques used by actual hackers to find systematic flaws that were subsequently addressed. He lectured at a number of seminars in India, including schools and colleges. Every year, he prefers to conduct a small number of keynote speaking engagements and business investments.
He’s also worked for government agencies and corporations to help them make their systems more resistant to terrorist attacks. He’s also focusing on safeguarding the Indian government’s Smart City concept, which was suggested by Digital India.
