06 Aug 2025 CW Team

The funding follows IndiGo’s corporate venture arm making its first investment in Jeh Aerospace last month, signalling strong investor confidence in the startup’s growth and innovation potential.

Founded by industry veterans Vishal Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla—both alumni of Tata’s aerospace joint ventures with Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Sikorsky—Jeh Aerospace combines deep sector expertise with sharp execution.

Within its first year, the firm has grown to a 100-member team of skilled engineers and technicians, delivered over 100,000 flight-critical aeroengine components and precision tools meeting AS9100 standards, and secured long-term global contracts worth USD 100 million.

“We are redefining aerospace manufacturing with software-driven precision, ensuring reliable, high-quality deliveries. This investment enables us to build mega factories, enhance our technology, and continue adding value for global aerospace clients,” said CEO Vishal Sanghavi.

Jeh Aerospace is pioneering software-defined manufacturing—a model integrating automation, AI, and advanced software to create adaptable, high-precision factories that meet the aerospace industry’s rigorous demands faster and more reliably.

The company also emphasises building resilience through talent and in-house innovation. It recently launched a Centre for Skills to train engineers and technicians and a Centre for Resilience—a rapid-response speed shop that accelerates New Product Introduction (NPI) timelines by up to 10 times compared to traditional aerospace machining.

Ashray Iyengar, Principal at Elevation Capital, remarked: “Their software-defined model tackles a key challenge in aerospace—achieving both precision and agility. Jeh Aerospace combines cutting-edge tech with deep manufacturing expertise, creating a globally relevant solution for the aerospace supply chain.”

Hyderabad-based aerospace startup Jeh Aerospace has raised USD 11 million (approximately Rs 920 million) in a Series A funding round led by Elevation Capital, with participation from existing investor General Catalyst.
