Summary

Indian entrepreneur Bhavin Turakhia has launched Neo, an enterprise work platform designed to replace legacy workplace software with a system built natively for AI. Turakhia is bootstrapping the venture with $30 million of his own money, arguing that existing platforms cannot be effectively retrofitted with generative AI. Neo integrates project management, document storage, and AI tools into one model-agnostic platform. Currently in internal use, the company plans to roll out to mid-sized businesses later this year, aiming to capture a significant share of the competitive enterprise AI market.
