Jeh Aerospace Raises $11 Mn in Series A to Scale Software-Defined Aerospace Manufacturing
- ByStartupStory | August 5, 2025
Jeh Aerospace, a US-headquartered aerospace and defence manufacturing startup with advanced facilities in Hyderabad, has raised $11 million in a Series A funding round led by Elevation Capital, with continued backing from existing investor General Catalyst. This latest round will fuel the company’s plans to develop mega factories and enhance its proprietary software-defined manufacturing model to deliver high-precision, scalable, and agile aerospace production.
The round follows a strategic investment by IndiGo Ventures the venture capital arm of IndiGo Airlines announced just a month ago, signalling strong ecosystem interest in Jeh Aerospace’s vision for transforming the global aerospace supply chain.
Founded by Vishal R. Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla, Jeh Aerospace is pioneering a next-generation approach to aerospace component production by integrating advanced software solutions with manufacturing automation. Since its $2.75 million seed round in early 2024 led by General Catalyst, the company has rapidly scaled operations, growing to a team of over 100 and delivering more than 100,000 flight-critical components and tools to clients. It has also secured long-term contracts worth over $100 million with major global aerospace firms.
Commenting on the investment, Ashray Iyengar, Principal at Elevation Capital, said,
“Jeh’s software-defined manufacturing model addresses a fundamental challenge in the industry the need for both precision and agility in production. What impresses us most is their ability to combine cutting-edge technology with deep manufacturing expertise, creating a solution the global aerospace supply chain desperately needs.”
Jeh Aerospace’s cross-border operational model leveraging India’s deep engineering talent pool while maintaining market proximity in the US reflects a strategic friend-shoring approach aimed at building resilient, globally distributed supply chains.
Akarsh Shrivastava, Partner at General Catalyst, noted,
“Jeh’s manufacturing approach and proven delivery demonstrate the scalable, reliable production the aerospace industry needs. Their dual-region operations allow them to serve global clients with unmatched flexibility and quality.”
Earlier this year, the startup launched the Centre for Skills, an in-house technical training programme aimed at building a pipeline of highly skilled engineers and technicians, further strengthening its in-house capabilities.
With the aerospace parts manufacturing industry projected to grow from $913 billion in 2023 to over $1.3 trillion by 2032, Jeh Aerospace is well-positioned to become a key enabler of this growth offering precision-engineered solutions that meet the evolving demands of defence, aviation, and space sectors.
