Bengaluru vs Seattle: AI startup co-founder runs a 24-hour company across two cities, shares insights on innovation and energy in both tech hubs

When Siddhant (Sid) Masson decided to leave his stable consulting job at Deloitte, he didn’t have a blueprint for what came next—just a growing sense of dissatisfaction and a curiosity about technology’s evolving power. Today, the 37-year-old entrepreneur is the co-founder and CEO of Wokelo AI, a generative AI startup that automates investment research and commercial due diligence. The company operates across two continents, with teams in Seattle and Bengaluru, proving that innovation knows no boundaries.
