Soham Parekh, an Indian software engineer, has been reported to work for several Silicon Valley startups at once, deceiving the companies involved. The issue gained traction when Suhail Doshi, CEO of Playground AI, shared a warning about Parekh on social media. He claimed to have fired Parekh for lying about his employment. Other startup founders corroborated Doshi's claims, sharing their own experiences of hiring and then dismissing Parekh upon learning of his dual employment. The situation has raised awareness and caution among tech companies.
"PSA: there's a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He's been preying on YC companies and more. Beware."
"Holy shit. We hired this guy a week ago. Fired this morning. He did so incredibly well in interviews, must have a lot of training. Careful out there."
