In a recent Bizwomen profile, Reps founder Bhakti Vithalani shares the experiences and convictions behind her work to prepare people for an increasingly AI-driven workplace.

Growing up around entrepreneurial parents in Mumbai shaped Bhakti’s understanding of what it takes to build, adapt, and turn ideas into meaningful action. That perspective now informs the mission behind Reps: helping organizations ensure their people are not left behind as technology transforms how work gets done.

Rather than treating AI as a replacement for human capability, Reps is building toward a future in which technology helps people become more prepared, adaptable, and effective. The platform focuses on closing the gap between knowing what to do and being ready to execute it in the moments that matter.

Why it matters?

AI is accelerating change across every industry, but access to technology alone does not guarantee successful transformation. Organizations also need people who can apply new knowledge, practice critical behaviors, and perform confidently in real-world situations.

Bhakti’s story reflects the belief at the center of Reps: the future of work should place people inside the transformation—not outside of it.
