In the wild world of Silicon Valley, where hustle culture reigns supreme, one software engineer has taken “multiple income streams” to a whole new level.

Soham Parekh, an Indian tech professional, has become the internet’s latest viral sensation by simultaneously working at multiple startup companies – and getting caught in the most epic professional flex of 2025.

The Hustle Heard 'Round Tech Twitter

Parekh reportedly juggled 3-4 startup jobs at once, pulling what he claims are 140-hour work weeks. For context, that’s basically working 20 hours a day – something only a caffeine-powered robot or an absolute madman could potentially achieve.

The Great Unraveling

His multi-startup strategy came crashing down when founders like Suhail Doshi of Playground AI publicly called him out. Matthew Parkhurst, CEO of Antimetal, described Parekh as “really smart and likable” before revealing they discovered his double-dealing and promptly showed him the door.

The Aftermath

In a bizarre twist, Parekh doesn’t seem entirely remorseful. He told a programming network he did this “out of necessity” due to financial circumstances, claiming he wrote “every inch” of code himself and only used AI as an assistant.

The tech world is now wrestling with some spicy questions: Is this ultimate side hustle brilliance or just elaborate professional fraud? One thing’s certain – Parekh has officially become the chaotic legend of startup culture in 2025.
