Jeh Aerospace, an aerospace manufacturing startup, has raised $11 million in a Series A funding round led by Elevation Capital, with participation from existing investor General Catalyst.
The fresh funds raised will be used to strengthen its operations and expand its workforce.
Founded in 2022 by Vishal Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla, Jeh Aerospace specializes in high-precision aerospace and defense manufacturing, driven by software-defined manufacturing technology. Headquartered in Atlanta, US, with facilities and robust production capacities in Hyderabad, India, Jeh delivers flight-critical components with unmatched quality and speed.
Jeh Aerospace raised $2.75 million in a seed funding round led by General Catalyst, along with participation from angel investors like Pratyush Kumar and Dwarkanath Srinivas. Since then, Jeh Aerospace has scaled to a team of over 100, delivered more than 100,000 flight-critical components and tools, and secured $100 million in long-term contracts with global aerospace leaders, cementing its position as an industry innovator.
Jeh Aerospace also raised an undisclosed amount from IndiGo Ventures, the venture capital arm of IndiGo. The investment is part of IndiGo Ventures’ first fund close.
