Jeh Aerospace, a fast-growing aerospace manufacturing startup, has raised $11 million in Series A funding led by Elevation Capital, with participation from existing investor General Catalyst. The fresh capital will fuel Jeh Aerospace’s plans to expand its advanced manufacturing capabilities and build “mega factories” in India and the US, strengthening its role as a software-driven disruptor in the aerospace supply chain.
Founded by experienced aerospace professionals Vishal R. Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla, Jeh Aerospace has shown fast progress in just 18 months since its seed round. The company’s workforce has grown from five to more than 100. In that period, Jeh Aerospace has delivered over 100,000 flight-critical components and tools for clients worldwide and landed $100 million worth of long-term contracts with global aerospace leaders. Its Hyderabad-based facilities in India are certified to AS9100 standards, ensuring top-tier quality for aerospace and defense manufacturing.
A Key Focus: Software-Defined Precision Manufacturing
Jeh Aerospace is not a traditional manufacturer. The company relies on software-driven manufacturing models, blending automation, artificial intelligence, and cutting-edge software to produce high-quality aerospace parts quickly, reliably, and at scale. This technology-led approach has allowed Jeh to dramatically slash lead times for new product introductions, from the industry standard of 15 weeks down to just 15 days in some cases. Jeh’s advanced systems help Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to major aerospace companies, such as Boeing and Airbus, tackle complex manufacturing challenges and production bottlenecks that have disrupted global supply chains post-pandemic.
Investors’ Vote of Confidence
According to Elevation Capital, Jeh Aerospace has “built a truly differentiated approach to aerospace manufacturing” by combining software and deep manufacturing expertise. General Catalyst’s partner, Akarsh Shrivastava, highlighted Jeh’s ability to deliver what the aerospace industry needs most today: scalable, reliable production that strengthens critical global supply chains.
Recent months have also seen a strategic investment from IndiGo Ventures, the venture capital arm of India’s largest airline, IndiGo, a move that further builds Jeh’s strategic position in the industry.
Growth, Talent, and Outlook
The company’s recent launch of its own Center for Skills (a program to train engineers and technicians) and a Center for Resilience (a rapid manufacturing unit) has set national benchmarks for aerospace skills and speed. Jeh Aerospace also reports that it achieved $6 million in annualized recurring revenue last year and was profitable after taxes, signaling a sustainable and scalable business model.
With the new funds, Jeh Aerospace aims to multiply its growth over the coming year, expand production capacity, and continue investing in technology and talent to meet booming global aerospace demand.
In a sector eager for reliability and speed, Jeh Aerospace is positioning itself as a key player in the global aerospace supply chain transformation, reshaping manufacturing from India for the world.
