Bhavin Turakhia, the founder of Zeta, has launched a new AI-native work platform called Neo with a personal investment of $30 million, which is about ₹288 crore. The platform is designed to bring project management, documents, file sharing, and AI tools into one place. Neo is built for enterprises that want AI to be part of daily work, not just an extra chatbot on the side. Turakhia says older office software cannot be fixed with small AI add-ons and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.india.
The platform is model-agnostic, which means companies can switch between AI models instead of depending on only one provider. Neo also includes an AI assistant, a task tool, a workspace for documents, and a shared file system.
According to reports, Neo has already been used internally across Turakhia’s companies, including Zeta. The company plans to expand the platform to mid-sized businesses in the coming months, with an early focus on knowledge workers in technology, consulting, and professional services.
Turakhia said the first version of Neo was built in about three months, using AI heavily in development. The Bengaluru-based company has around 45 employees now and expects to grow to about 100 by year-end, with more hiring in AI and software engineering.
This launch shows how Indian startup founders are betting big on AI-native products. With Neo, Turakhia is targeting a major market: enterprise software that is easier, faster, and more connected in the AI era.
