The Soham Parekh case reveals how poor visibility and outdated tools let moonlighting thrive. Kaamfu addresses this by making daily workforce control a reality with live visibility, structured accountability, and AI-powered insights. From task flows to presence indicators, Kaamfu helps leaders spot divided focus early and prevent silent underperformance. Businesses deserve better tools—and Kaamfu ensures teams stay aligned, engaged, and protected in today’s fast-paced, remote work environment.
The recent Times of India article on Soham Parekh—the Bengaluru tech professional accused of secretly holding multiple jobs with US startups at the same time—should serve as a wake-up call for business leader.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t just a worker problem. It’s a system problem, a visibility problem, and ultimately a management failure—and companies deserve better. If a worker can actively juggle two, three, even four full-time jobs, collecting multiple salaries, and it isn’t caught within a day or two, that reflects poorly—not only on the worker’s ethics—but on the manager, and more importantly, the tools and systems that manager had at their disposal.
This situation hurts businesses in more ways than one:
- ❌ Productivity drops as workers stretch themselves thin.
- ❌ Deadlines get missed, teams lose alignment, and output suffers.
- ❌ Honest employees lose faith when they see others exploiting loopholes.
- ❌ Investors question operational control, especially in startups where speed, trust, and capital efficiency are everything.
At its core, this is a visibility problem—and Kaamfu is built to solve exactly that.
Moonlighting Thrives in the Absence of Control
The reality is, the traditional toolstack—fragmented apps, scattered reports, isolated timesheets—simply doesn’t give managers the real-time visibility they need to stay ahead of problems like this. You cannot prevent moonlighting, divided attention, or work fraud if:
- You have no consistent signal on worker presence.
- Your task systems are disconnected from your analytics.
- You rely on after-the-fact reports instead of live insights.
- You only “check in” on worker productivity weekly or monthly.
And let’s be honest: most companies today still operate that way, even in supposedly tech-forward environments. That’s where Kaamfu changes the game.
Kaamfu: Making Management & Frontline Visibility a Daily Reality
Kaamfu is more than a task manager or collaboration tool—it’s a Work Control System (WCS) designed to eliminate blind spots, align teams, and create accountability across every layer of your workforce, especially in remote and distributed setups.
Here’s how we make the kind of multi-job deception exposed in the Parekh case virtually impossible:
- ✅ Daily Management Visibility – Kaamfu brings real-time transparency to both management and the frontline. Presence indicators, active hours, task flows, and AI-driven status updates mean you always know who’s working, where they’re focused, and how engaged they are.
- ✅ Accountable Hours Framework – We don’t just track time—we enforce structured, role-based accountable hours tied directly to worker position levels. If someone claims to be fully committed, the system verifies that through live signals and activity mapping.
- ✅ Unified, Enclosed Workflows – All work flows through Kaamfu’s closed environment—tasks, communications, AI assistant interactions, output tracking—making it extremely difficult for workers to quietly split their attention elsewhere.
- ✅ Worker Analytics with Built-In Safeguards – We combine behavioral analytics, productivity signals, and wellbeing indicators to help managers spot divided focus, unexplained performance drops, or patterns that suggest outside distractions.
- ✅ Inline & Outline Signal Mapping – Kaamfu tracks both Inline transmissions (internal work signals) and Outline transmissions (external interactions like contractors, vendors, or unauthorized side work). This complete visibility lets organizations detect anomalies early.
With Kaamfu, management visibility isn’t a monthly report—it’s a daily, real-time reality. When work, effort, and focus are fully visible, situations like silent moonlighting or divided attention simply can’t take root. Teams stay aligned, leaders stay informed, and businesses stay protected.
Moonlighting Isn’t the Only Risk—But It’s a Symptom of the Larger Problem
The Soham Parekh case highlights one extreme, but the deeper issue is systemic: most organizations still lack operational control at scale, especially with remote work, offshore teams, and fast-growing headcounts.
When you can’t see the frontline, when you don’t know if teams are engaged daily, when your systems give you fragmented or delayed insights—situations like this thrive.
That’s exactly why we built Kaamfu the way we did:
- To replace fragmented tools with a seamless, all-in-one workspace.
- To connect every worker to structured goals, transparent effort tracking, and AI-powered oversight.
- To embed accountability, visibility, and wellbeing checks directly into the work environment.
Moonlighting, divided focus, and silent underperformance aren’t just bad for business—they’re avoidable. But only if leaders have the right tools.
Your business deserves better. Your teams deserve better. And Kaamfu ensures you get both—through daily visibility, structured control, and an environment where everyone is aligned, engaged, and accountable.
