Here's the resume of Soham Parekh, the techie accused of working for American startups at the same time

A software engineer named Soham Parekh has landed in hot water in Silicon Valley after being accused of secretly holding multiple jobs at the same time. The allegations of moonlighting were made public by Suhail Doshi , co-founder and former CEO of analytics firm Mixpanel . In a post on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), Doshi claimed that Parekh misled at least three to four early-stage startups, some of which were founded by prominent startup accelerator Y Combincator. He also shared Parekh's resume, calling it mostly fake and claiming that "probably 90%" of the details in it weren't true. The incident has triggered a wider conversation about ethics and transparency in the tech startup ecosystem. Here's the full resume of Soham Parekh as shared by Suhail Doshi SOHAM P.
