By Shalini Saha:- Serial entrepreneur Bhavin Turakhia today announced the launch of Neo, an AI-native work platform designed to bring work, knowledge and AI execution into a single connected suite. He has committed $30 million of his own capital to build the company, marking his biggest entrepreneurial bet since founding fintech unicorn Zeta.
Having spent over two decades building global technology businesses, Bhavin has previously co-founded Directi, Radix, Titan and Zeta. Directi’s web businesses were acquired for $160 million in 2014, Titan reached a valuation of $300 million following an investment from Automattic, while SoftBank-backed Zeta is currently valued at approximately $2 billion.
Bhavin’s fifth entrepreneurial bet, Neo enters the market at a time when enterprises are racing to adopt artificial intelligence but struggling to realise meaningful productivity gains. According to him, the problem is not the quality of AI models but the fragmented nature of enterprise work itself.
Commenting on the launch, Bhavin Turakhia, Founder, Neo said: “Most organisations fail to capture the value of AI because context is fragmented, knowledge is scattered across teams and tools remain disconnected. Neo changes that by centralising context and making AI a first-class participant in every workflow, not a tab beside it.”
The Neo Suite includes ‘Friday’, an AI assistant, co-work and agent layer connected to more than 1,000 external applications, ‘Tasket’ for project management, ‘Studio’ a knowledge management platform for documents, spreadsheets & diagrams, and ‘Drive’, a file sharing workspace where people and AI agents work together on files.
The launch comes as enterprises worldwide search for practical ways to deploy AI beyond experimentation and into core business operations. Neo is built on the belief that the next phase of enterprise AI will be defined by execution, with AI embedded directly into the flow of work.
