Bhavin Turakhia's banking-software company Zeta was valued at $2 billion after a $50 million investment from Optum in February 2025, and in July 2026 he committed $30 million of his own money to a new AI work platform, Neo.
Turakhia, who started his first company with his brother Divyank in 1998, is unusual among Indian founders for funding his companies largely himself. October 2026 brought fresh attention: his business-email company Titan announced a partnership with Squarespace, and Neo is hiring to take on Microsoft Office. Here is each company with its latest verified numbers.
Bhavin Turakhia's Companies and What They're Worth
| Company | What it does | Latest money event | Valuation | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zeta | Banking and card-processing software | $50M from Optum, Feb 2025 | $2B | TechCrunch |
| Neo | AI-first work platform (docs, projects, files) | $30M of Turakhia's own money, Jul 2026 | Not disclosed | TechCrunch |
| Titan | Business email for domain owners | $30M from Automattic, Aug 2021 | $300M (Aug 2021, reported) | YourStory, The Economic Times |
| Radix | Domain registry with 9.5M+ domains under management | Applied for 46 strings in ICANN's 2026 round | Not disclosed | Radix |
| Media.net | Contextual ad tech (run by Divyank Turakhia) | Sold, Aug 2016 | $900M sale price | TechCrunch |
How we counted: companies Bhavin Turakhia founded or co-founded that are still operating or were sold, with each company's latest publicly reported transaction; 5 companies; as of October 20, 2026. Titan's 2021 figures come from news headlines we could see but whose articles we could not open. Flock and Directi's earlier asset sales are not listed because we could not verify current figures from a primary or reputable source.
What Is Bhavin Turakhia's Net Worth?
Not disclosed in any current, independent source. The last net worth Forbes published, dated October 9, 2019, was $1.54 billion for Bhavin and Divyank Turakhia combined. That figure predates Zeta's 2021 and 2025 rounds and splits nothing between the brothers, so we do not treat it as his current net worth. What is on the record: Zeta's $2 billion valuation, and Turakhia's statements that Radix was built with $25 million of the founders' own capital and that he invested about $25-30 million in Titan, while Zeta received nearly $40 million of his money, per Entrepreneur India in July 2026.
What Is Neo, Bhavin Turakhia's AI Office Alternative?
Neo is an enterprise work platform that combines project management, documents, file storage and AI in one product, designed around AI from the start. TechCrunch reported on July 1, 2026 that Turakhia was betting $30 million of his own money on it, and that Neo "currently employs about 45 people, including 18 engineers," with plans to reach about 100 by year-end. Turakhia's stated ambition is modest in share and large in dollars: "Even if we end up with 2% to 5% market share, that's larger than anything I've built so far." Our Pulse coverage of the launch is here.
What Is Zeta's Valuation and Revenue?
Zeta, which Turakhia co-founded with Ramki Gaddipati, raised "$50 million from a strategic investor at a $2 billion valuation," the healthcare company Optum, TechCrunch reported on February 10, 2025. Zeta had previously raised $250 million in a 2021 round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 at a $1.15 billion pre-money price. At the time of the Optum deal it reported more than $50 million in annual revenue and said it aimed to be profitable by March 2026; Turakhia said the company "didn't need to raise capital." Zeta has not announced a newer priced round as of October 20, 2026.
What Is Titan's Squarespace Deal?
In October 2026, Titan announced "a partnership with Squarespace that will help put the company's Essential Email product in front of 40% of new domain registrants worldwide," Domain Name Journal reported. Titan sells business email to people who own a domain, so distribution through a large registrar is its growth lever. WordPress owner Automattic invested $30 million in Titan at a $300 million valuation in August 2021, as reported by YourStory and The Economic Times at the time; Titan has not disclosed a newer valuation.
Did Bhavin Turakhia Sell Media.net for $900 Million?
The $900 million Media.net sale belongs mainly to his brother. Media.net was founded and run as CEO by Divyank Turakhia, alongside Bhavin, and in August 2016 a Chinese consortium agreed to buy it for $900 million, with "$426 million will be paid immediately from the consortium, while another $474 million will be coming as part of an agreed upon payment schedule," per TechCrunch on August 22, 2016.
Where I Could Be Wrong
Self-funded companies disclose little, so most of Turakhia's portfolio has no recent public price. Zeta's $2 billion is from early 2025 and could be higher or lower today; Titan's $300 million is from 2021. Neo's $30 million is a commitment, not a valuation. Until Zeta raises again, lists or files to go public, any net worth figure for Turakhia is an estimate, and we have not published one.
