array_combine() and array_column() make clear code for this task. The for loop will iterate for each column in the multi-dimensional array. Then simply pair-up the array keys with the column values using array_combine().

Code: (Demo)

$array=[
    'title'=>['Ram','ramesh','john','mahesh'],
    'neighborhood'=>['delhi','mumbai','odisha','banglore'],
    'phone_no'=>['9438648-4256','9438333-3390','9438771-0888','9438504-7000']
];

$keys=array_keys($array);  // cache the array keys
$columns=sizeof($array['title']); // cache the number of columns to iterate
for($c=0; $c<$columns; ++$c){
    $result[]=array_combine($keys,array_column($array,$c));
}

var_export($result);

Output:

array (
  0 => 
  array (
    'title' => 'Ram',
    'neighborhood' => 'delhi',
    'phone_no' => '9438648-4256',
  ),
  1 => 
  array (
    'title' => 'ramesh',
    'neighborhood' => 'mumbai',
    'phone_no' => '9438333-3390',
  ),
  2 => 
  array (
    'title' => 'john',
    'neighborhood' => 'odisha',
    'phone_no' => '9438771-0888',
  ),
  3 => 
  array (
    'title' => 'mahesh',
    'neighborhood' => 'banglore',
    'phone_no' => '9438504-7000',
  ),
)

Alternatively, you could use a foreach loop like this:

$keys=array_keys($array);  // cache the array keys
foreach($array['title'] as $i=>$v){
    $result[]=array_combine($keys,array_column($array,$i));
}

$v is declared but not used so that $i can be declared.
