Founder of Neo
"Neo is an AI-native enterprise work platform unifying task management, knowledge, file collaboration, and AI agents into one workspace — built to replace fragmented tools like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace."

Billionaire entrepreneur Bhavin Turakhia—co-founder of Directi, Radix, Titan, and fintech unicorn Zeta—launched his fifth venture with a bold declaration: simply bolting AI chatbots onto legacy, decades-old software architectures like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace is fundamentally flawed.
With $30 million in self-funded capital, Turakhia created Neo—an AI-native workspace designed from the ground up to consolidate project management (Tasket), document authoring (Studio), cloud file collaboration (Drive), and autonomous agent execution (Friday) into a single unified surface.
Modern enterprises suffer from extreme context fragmentation, where institutional knowledge and operational data are scattered across dozens of disconnected SaaS apps. Neo solves this friction by establishing AI as a core, first-class collaborator across all company files and workflows.
By natively embedding autonomous agents that can execute tasks, draft deliverables, and query live repository context alongside human teams, Neo transforms static enterprise software into a high-velocity collaborative network.
Having previously built and scaled global software companies generating billions in value, Bhavin Turakhia's vision for Neo is unapologetically ambitious: to replace legacy productivity stacks across the global enterprise market and define the default operating system for AI-first organizations.
"If you want to build an iPhone, you cannot take Nokia parts and turn them into an iPhone. Enterprise software must be rebuilt from scratch so AI isn't a side tab, but an active participant in every workflow."

When a technological shift is fundamental, re-architecting the system from scratch beats slapping legacy add-ons onto old frameworks.
