A Computer Engineer by education, Siddharth Sood is one of those individuals who wanted to follow his heart and not head. He was lucky enough to be able to follow his first love – Audio. He made his first pair of speakers when in the 9th standard. That’s where it all started.

Born and bought up in DELHI after completing his schooling from Modern School, Barakhamba Road he went to Pune to pursue his B.E. (COMPUTER) from Bharti Vidyapeeth. It was during his engineering itself that the entrepreneur bug hit him hard and he started his first venture in Pune,
offering Home audio and Home Theater solutions. Hence rather then choose a lucrative career in IT he followed his heart and thus began his career in the world of Music and Audio.

He was associated with the Professional Audio Industry from 2002 and running a successful Distribution and Integration business, distributing leading International Pro Audio brands like Harman Pro, EV- Electrovoice, EAW, VAL Audio & KV2 audio to name a few.

In 2017 seeing the industry dynamics shift and growing trend of OEMs directly setting up operations in India, sitting with his longtime friend and CEO of CELTO Acoustique International Mr Arthur Felix they decided to start CELTO India to offer Sales, Service and Marketing support for the CELTO Acoustique range of products for India and Indian Subcontinent. Says Mr Sood – we realized if we want to introduce the CELTO range to the Indian market we will have to do so ourselves. It cant be done thru a Distributor model. And thus CELTO Acoustique India was born.
