Suhail Doshi, a US-based AI founder, has raised serious concerns about Soham Parekh, alleging that he scammed several startups by working for 3 to 4 companies at the same time without informing any of them.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Suhail warned other founders:
“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.”
Suhail shared that “Probably 90% fake and most links are gone”, implying that he scammed people by working in multiple places, lying about his location and lying about the work that he did in those companies.
Suhail tried to talk to him and tell him that this is not the way to go, believing that all a misguided person needs at times is the right direction, but that did not work.
“I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying/scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.”
Many users had mixed reviews about Soham:
Some said that they had hired him because he cracked the interview very well and was outspoken and confident, but he always failed to deliver his work on time.
Some thanked Suhail for this information as they were going to hire him, but after the post, they would not go ahead with the process.
Some questioned how Soham could get away with such big scams: Why was there not a better background check of his work? How could he get away with doing this for 4 years?
Some appreciated Soham; they called him “smart” and a “pro” for fooling so many companies with his resume. A person even commented:
Moonlighting refers to when a person has a secret job, usually unknown to the boss of the “main” job. It has been a highly debated concept, while many companies in IT are going against it.

“Why do you feel moonlighting is wrong? If he aced the interviews and was the best, so you hired him – what’s wrong? As long as he meets all deliverables on time with the right attitude,”
To which Suhail replied that this person made up constant lies and performed badly.
Moonlighting in itself isn’t inherently wrong; many argue that as long as an individual is transparent, meets deadlines, and delivers high-quality work, their time outside the main job is their own. However, the problem arises when it involves deception, poor performance, or conflicts of interest. The Soham Parekh case highlights the darker side of moonlighting: when individuals take on multiple roles without disclosure, lie about their credentials, and fail to deliver, it not only breaches trust but also disrupts teams and misuses opportunities meant for committed contributors.
