Hyderabad | August 5, 2025 — Jeh Aerospace, a hybrid India–US startup combining advanced software intelligence with high precision aerospace manufacturing, has secured $11 million in Series A funding led by Elevation Capital, joined by General Catalyst and strategic investor IndiGo Ventures.
Founded by industry veterans Vishal R. Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla, Jeh Aerospace has grown from a seed team of five to over 100 engineers in just 18 months, delivered more than 100,000 flight-critical components, and secured over $100 million in contracts with Tier‑1 and Tier‑2 aerospace suppliers.
A New Playbook: Software‑Defined Aerospace Manufacturing
At the heart of Jeh’s performance is its software-defined approach: integrating automation, AI, and IoT to produce precision components at scale, shrinking product introduction cycles from 15 weeks to 15 days. This next-gen setup enables responsive supply for global aerospace demand even amid geopolitical strain.
Jeh has also launched two internal centers: a Center for Skills, training aerospace technicians, and a Center for Resilience, speeding up manufacturing for new parts both essential for scaling reliably in a regulated domain.
Founder-Centric Lessons
- Infra as Differentiator: Jeh blended deep domain expertise with modern software workflows—something few in aerospace have done well.
- Talent + Time = Trust: By investing early in internal training and quality control, they landed major contracts and a global runway.
- Product-Led Capital: Their discipline delivering first, then raising drew top investors like Elevation Capital.
Final Thought
Jeh Aerospace is not delivering components it’s delivering a new operating system for aerospace manufacturing built in India and executed globally. For founders in deep tech, hardware, and supply-chain innovation, Jeh’s journey signals that real transformation requires both domain conviction and software intelligence.
