Thoughtworks, a global technology consultancy with a focus on driving digital innovation, has recently acquired individuals and technology assets from Watchful, a company based in San Francisco, CA. This acquisition is expected to solidify Thoughtworks’ position as a leading AI transformation partner on a global scale.
Thoughtworks has brought on board a team of seven highly skilled professionals from Watchful, including co-founders Shayan Mohanty and John Singleton. These individuals bring a wealth of AI and data expertise to the table, significantly contributing to Thoughtworks’ capability in delivering AI and data solutions for clients.
By integrating Watchful’s technology into their Data and AI services, Thoughtworks aims to expedite AI deployment processes.

Current Watchful clients will still receive support for their existing subscriptions as the existing business operations of Watchful come to a close.
Guided by Guo Xiao, the chief executive officer, Thoughtworks is committed to providing cutting-edge solutions to its clients through its strategy, design, and engineering expertise. With over 10,500 employees across 48 offices in 19 countries, the company is well-positioned to drive digital innovation for organizations worldwide.
