An Indian tech professional named Soham Parekh has become the most famous name in the world of tech and AI social media overnight. Suddenly, memes about Soham Parekh's abilities are all over the internet and every tech boss is posting about him.
Who is this Soham Parekh? Let's find out.
Early-stage startups wanted to hire him because of impressive technical talents mentioned in his resume and ability to ace interviews. However, he exploited this ability by taking on several full-time positions at once. He frequently assigned work to junior developers or was unable to perform because of divided commitments.
He might have succeeded in continuing had he not been exposed by the United States-based entrepreneur Suhail Doshi who accused him of working at many startups at the same time and defrauding them. Now, Parekh has turned into a subject for controversy and regrettably for him, a magnet of jokes on social media.
On 2nd July, Doshi, the co-founder and former CEO of Mixpanel, highlighted Parekh's actions. He mentioned that Soham Parekh is involved with 3-4 startups simultaneously and targets YC companies, among others. Furthermore, Doshi revealed that he terminated Parekh's employment within the first week and explicitly instructed him to cease his deceitful and fraudulent acts. "He hasn't stopped a year later. No more excuses," Doshi added.
