Overview
- Neo, which Turakhia unveiled Thursday, is backed by a $30 million personal investment and has been used inside his companies before the public announcement.
- The platform combines project management, documents, file storage, real-time collaboration, autonomous agents, and embedded AI in a single workspace.
- Neo is designed to be model-agnostic so customers can swap underlying AI models rather than being tied to one provider.
- The Bengaluru-based startup currently has about 45 employees, expects to hire toward roughly 100 by year-end, and plans a phased rollout aimed at mid-sized knowledge-work firms.
- Turakhia says he is bootstrapping Neo because he believes legacy workplace suites must be rebuilt for generative AI, and he hopes even a small share of the large enterprise market would yield a sizable business in a crowded competitive landscape.
