India’s Aerospace Supply Chain Still Depends on Imports
Despite rising defence spending and a growing UAV ecosystem, India continues to rely heavily on imported flight-critical aircraft components. Certification complexity, long development cycles, and high capital requirements have limited the emergence of domestic suppliers, creating a strategic gap in aerospace and defence manufacturing.
Funding Snapshot and Expansion Plans
Bengaluru-based Misochain Technologies has raised ₹18 crore (around $2.2 million) in a seed funding round led by Capital-A.
The capital will be used to set up a manufacturing facility, accelerate certification programmes, and scale engineering, testing, and MRO capabilities for UAV manufacturers and global aerospace customers.
What the Startup Is Building
Founded in 2019 by Rama Kandula and Murali Krishnan, Misochain develops indigenous, flight-critical components for defence and global aviation platforms. Its portfolio includes air data probes, actuators, vibration isolation systems, and solenoid valves used in flight management and control systems. The company operates a capital-efficient model by outsourcing precision machining while retaining design, assembly, testing, certification, and IP in-house, alongside proprietary probe-heating technologies built for extreme flight environments.
Why This Funding Matters
Misochain’s progress highlights a broader shift in India’s deep-tech ecosystem, where investors are backing startups capable of navigating certification-heavy sectors with long product lifecycles. As programmes like Make in India and rising UAV adoption drive demand, companies that combine engineering depth with disciplined capital deployment could become foundational suppliers in India’s aerospace value chain.
