Soham Parekh, this name is in discussion from America to India. Actually, Soham Parekh is an engineer by profession and is stuck in the matter of working at one time at a time. The controversy started from Silcon Valley, where not one, but many startups founders have publicly accused Soham of working in many companies without sharing information and after that the matter is becoming increasingly viral on social media.
How did Soham Parekh come into the discussion?
Indian-origin engineer Soham Parekh is being said to be an expert in coding and it is alleged that he has worked in 4 or 5 startups simultaneously and the case has questioned the joint process under a remote-first strategy in the tech sector. The case of Moonlighting by Soham came into the limelight from the post on social media platform Twitter (now x) by Suhail Doshi, founder of an American Tech Enterprise and Startup Playground AI, in which he wrote, ‘A boy of India is working together in 3-4 startups.’
Not only this, Suhail Doshi told that Soham Parekh had also worked in his startup for some time, but as soon as the truth of Moonlighting was revealed by him, he showed him the way outside a week.

Doshi, through his post, also asked the companies to be careful and also shared the Soham Parekh CV, in which he was told to work in companies like Dynamo AI, Union AI, Synthesia and Alan AI. But most of the information given in it by the Starter Found was declared fake.
Other startups founder also took action
Not only Suhail Doshi, but other Startups Founders also fired Soham Parekh from the job and shared its information through Social Media Post. Among them, Lindy founder Flow Crewello said that her team had hired Soham Parekh a week ago, but now she has been fired. However, he also praised his performance in the interview. Fleet AI CEO Nicolai Oporov said to work with Soham and wrote, ‘He has been working like this for years.’

Apart from this, WARP’s product head Mitchell Lim said that he had included Parekh in his team as a trial, but the agreement has been canceled after the allegations against him.
Graduate Soham from Mumbai University!
According to Soham Parekh’s CV, he is a graduate from Mumbai University and has a master’s degree from Georgia Institute of Technology. However, these claims of Parekh, trapped in moonlighting, have also become the subject of investigation. Although no public comments have been made publicly by Parekh, the startup founder Suhail Doshi wrote in another post that Soham Parekh has regretted privately and said if I have completely ruined my career? What can I do to improve my position?
What is Moonlighting?
There has been a lot of discussion about Moonlighting in Indian Eye Industries and all the veteran companies like Wipro have also taken action on this. Explain that the person doing the monolithic usually works secretly in other companies without giving a permanent job as well as without informing the company and takes financial benefits.
