In a sensational accusation, Suhail Doshi, co-founder and former CEO of analytics platform Mixpanel, has claimed that an Indian techie named Soham Parekh has been scamming companies by working at 鈥3-4 startups鈥 simultaneously by moonlighting under several roles without any disclosure. Doshi alleged that Parekh was employed at his company before being fired in his first week. 鈥淗e鈥檚 been preying on YC companies and more. Beware,鈥 Doshi wrote on 鈥榅鈥 before sharing Parekh鈥檚 CV and questioned if his portfolio was all but a sham.
In yet another post, Doshi claimed to have tried to 鈥渢alk sense into鈥 the techie, but it was all in vain.
鈥淚 want to also say that I tried to talk sense into this guy, explain the impact, and give him a chance to turn a new leaf because sometimes that鈥檚 what a person needs. But it clearly didn鈥檛 work.鈥
When an 鈥榅鈥 user questioned Doshi on why he felt moonlighting was unethical as long as the said employee aced interviews and met all deliverables, the Mixpanel founder doubled down on his accusations, stating that Parekh 鈥済ot nothing done鈥 and 鈥渕ade up constant lies鈥.
Gets nothing done. Made up constant lies. Corroborated by 6+ other companies. The tweet will surface 10+ more 鈥 you鈥檒l see.
