Soham Parekh breaks silence: Indian engineer admits to working at multiple startups, says it wasn't to scam anyone
Soham Parekh, accused of working at multiple startups simultaneously, has admitted to doing so in a recent interview but strongly added that he didn't do it to scam the companies. The internet has been flooded with stories, opinions and allegations after Mixpanel co-founder Suhail Doshi shared a tweet about Parekh accusing him of being a scammer. Soham Parekh, accused of working at multiple startups at the same time, hails from Mumbai and later relocated to the USA. (YouTube/@TBPNLive) In an interview with TBPN, Parekh shared his side of the story. When one of the interviewers asked him if he indeed held multiple jobs at the same time, Parekh said, 'It is true'. Why did he do it? 'Do you believe you were in violation of your own employment contracts? Or do you believe there were some legal loopholes that allowed you to do this without committing any sort of legal violation?' Parekh was asked. The Indian techie answered, 'Honestly, going back to how it started and what the motivations were. You probably know, I would want to preface with saying I'm not proud of what I've done. It's not something I endorse either.' He then says that he did it due to his financial situation. 'Financial circumstances essentially. No one really likes to work 140 hours a week but I had to do it out of necessity.' He explained that his actions were guided by necessity and not by greed. Did he hire people to work for him? Social media claimed that Parekh made a business out of his multiple jobs by hiring junior developers to do most of the work. The Indian techie denied the allegations, adding that he wrote every "inch of codes." Soham Parekh said he was born in Mumbai and relocated to the US in 2020. He was originally scheduled to relocate in 2018 and start his grad school. However, he said he had to give up on the idea due to his financial situation.

‘Part of one family': PM Modi hails Indian community's journey during visit to Trinidad and Tobago
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is currently in Trinidad and Tobago as part of his five-nation diplomatic tour, hailed the journey of the Indian community in the country Thursday, saying that the 'diaspora is our pride'. Addressing a community event at the National Cycling Velodrome in Couva, the Prime Minister said: 'The journey of the Indian community in Trinidad and Tobago is about courage. The circumstances your ancestors faced could have broken even the strongest of spirits. But they faced hardships with hope. They met problems with persistence.' The Prime Minister added that it felt completely natural to him to be there as 'we are part of one family'. Trinidad and Tobago has a population of approximately 13 lakh, 45 per cent of whom are of Indian origin. Modi said that between the past and the present, the friendship between the two nations has 'grown even stronger'. 'Our bonds go well beyond geography and generations,' the PM said. Calling his counterpart, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, 'daughter of Bihar', he said, 'Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar's ancestors lived in Buxar, Bihar. Kamala ji herself has visited there. People consider her a daughter of Bihar. Many people present here have ancestors who came from Bihar itself. Bihar's heritage is a matter of pride not only for India but for the entire world.' In a post on social media platform X, the PM said, 'The community programme in Port of Spain was spectacular. The energy and warmth of the people made it truly unforgettable. Evidently, our cultural bonds shine brightly!' During his address, PM Modi also asserted that the Indian community members there have contributed to Trinidad and Tobago 'culturally, economically and spiritually'. PM Persad-Bissessar, who also addressed the community before Modi, said that the Indian leader will be conferred Friday with 'The Order of Trinidad and Tobago', the Caribbean nation's highest honour.

After Asim Munir, Pakistan Air Force chief in US amid doubts over Chinese equipment, first visit in a decade
After Asim Munir, Pakistan's Chief of the Air Staff, Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, paid an official visit to the United States. Here's why both India and China should be concerned by the trip. read more Following Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir, the country's Chief of the Air Staff, Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, paid an official visit to the United States, indicating the warming ties between the two nations. The officials noted that Sidhu's purpose of visit was to further defence cooperation between the two nations as a follow-up to Munir's visit to the country. It is pertinent to note that this is the first US trip by a serving Pakistan Air Force (PAF) chief in over a decade, reflecting the re-hyphenisation of the US's outlook towards India and Pakistan. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'This high-level visit is a strategic milestone in the Pak-US defence partnership. The visit will play a significant role in addressing key regional and global security issues as well as building institutional ties,' the PAF said in a statement on Wednesday. It further gave an insight into Sidhu's itinerary, mentioning several important meetings with the top military and political leadership of the US. During his visit to the Pentagon, he met US Secretary of the Air Force for International Affairs Kelly L. Seybolt and Air Force Chief of Staff General David W Allvin. As per the statement by PAF, the two sides agreed to forge avenues for bilateral military cooperation, mutual affairs, joint training and technology exchange. Is Pakistan losing trust in China? The visit comes amid Pakistani concerns about the reliability of Chinese military equipment after it received severe battering by Indian forces during Operation Sindoor. Pakistan is reportedly interested in acquiring advanced US platforms such as F-16 Block 70 fighter jets, air defence systems, and HIMARS artillery, as it looks to diversify away from Chinese suppliers. Meanwhile, China has remained tight-lipped over the performance of its weapons to Pakistan during its 4-day military escalation with India. During a presser on May 30, a Chinese Defence Ministry spokesperson, Zhang Xiaogang, refused to provide any details on the effectiveness of Pakistan's weapons in the recent military confrontation. There were reports that India recovered an unexploded PL-15E missile, a Chinese-made beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile. While speaking at the presser, Zhang Xiaogang emphasised China's hope that both sides will remain calm and restrained to avoid further complicating the situation, sidestepping questions of its defence weapon systems. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD When pressed further, the Chinese defence official simply said: 'Pakistan received support from China's air defence and satellite systems, but the performance of these systems was below average.' 'We would like to stress that India and Pakistan are neighbours that cannot be moved. We hope both sides will remain calm and restrained to avoid further complicating the situation,' he added. Why India should be concerned Meanwhile, Pakistan's air force chief's visit to the US can be a matter of concern for India as well. During the hunt for Al-Qaeda terrorist Osama Bin Laden following 9/11, there was de-hyphenisation of the American outlook towards India and Pakistan, i.e, the US stopped putting New Delhi and Islamabad on the same level. The discovery of Osama near a military training headquarters in Abbottabad further pushed the US towards India. With the second stint of US President Donald Trump in the office and following the military confrontation between India and Pakistan, a new pattern of re-hyphenation is emerging. When asked about the changing dynamic, former US National Security Adviser John Bolton reiterated the American outlook, emphasising that the US is concerned by China's influence on Pakistan. 'Well, I think much of the de-hyponization came after 9/11 and and I think Secretary Powell and President Bush worked hard to try and do that. And I think right now the common threat that we see, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region, but really on a global basis, is the China-Russia axis. And so there's a lot to talk about there,' he told Firstpost's Bhagyasree Sengupta in May. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It's distressing to me that Pakistan is so much under the influence of China now. Ultimately, that's not going to be to their benefit. Ultimately, I think peace on the subcontinent is going to have to require an understanding between India and Pakistan. They're the two biggest powers. That's the reality,' he added. Trump has been adamant about taking credit for the ceasefire, which India has made it clear was a bilateral decision. Meanwhile, Pakistan is serving the credit to America on a platter with Islamabad nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, earning more brownie points. Another factor which can be concerning for India is Pakistan's warm ties with both China and the US. Beijing have been a long-time ally of Islamabad and its feathers are less likely to be ruffled with Pak-US collaborations. Meanwhile, Turkey, another key power in Asia, have expressed its solidarity with Pakistan during India's Operation Sindoor. Hence, New Delhi will be looking for new allies in the region and reconsolidating its ties with the old ones. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
