'Drone Shot Down 10 Mins Away’: AI Founder Exposes Soham Parekh’s Operation Sindoor Guilt-Trip

'Drone Shot Down 10 Mins Away’: As the Soham Parekh debacle makes more controversial headlines, a founder of an AI startup in the US has since presented screenshots of his chats with the Indian techie as he claims he has been manipulated by the latter based on the tensions between India and Pakistan during the Sindhur period of operation.

Founder of the Leaping AI Arkadiy Telegin ran to X (previously Twitter) to disclose some messages he had shared with Parekh. He added that the techie was making him feel guilty of dragging his feet on pull requests whereas the latter was saying that he was in the center of a conflict zone.

“Soham used to guilt-trip me for being slow on PRs when the India-Pakistan thing was going on, all while he was in Mumbai. The next person should hire him for the Chief Intelligence Officer role,” Telegin wrote.

Later, in the screenshots dated at the height of Operation Sindoor, Parekh has sent a message to Telegin at 2.29 AM reading, “Drone shot down 10 minutes away.” Telegin looking scared said, is Parekh all right? Parekh answered back that a building that was close to his house was destroyed.

The post by Telegin received glimpses of concern, as well as criticism. One user said he was in search of cheap labour and he replied to the user by stating that he had suggested compensation package of between 150,000 to 200,000 dollars and stock of the company to Parekh.

Several startup CEOs have now come out to accuse Parekh of moonlighting in multiple companies. Flo Crivello is the CEO and founder of Lindy, said, “Holy sh*t. We hired this guy a week ago. Fired this morning. He did so incredibly well in interviews, must have a lot of training. Careful out there.”

Antimetal CEO Matthew Parkhurst, Fleet AI co-founder Nicolai Ouporov and Mosaic founder Adish Jain were among others who said that Parekh had worked at their companies at the same time, and had done well during interviews.
