ATLANTA: Jeh Aerospace, an aerospace manufacturing startup, has cemented its rise to global prominence with an $11 million Series A funding round led by Elevation Capital and supported by existing investor General Catalyst. In a meteoric climb since its founding, Jeh Aerospace has not only assembled a team of over 100 in just 18 months post-seed round but also delivered more than 100,000 mission-critical parts to aerospace titans. The company now boasts $100 million in long-term contracts, confirming its position as a benchmark of innovation and reliability within the industry.
At the heart of Jeh Aerospace’s success is its unique approach: software-defined manufacturing. Leveraging automation, advanced software, and AI, Jeh Aerospace is forging a new era of flexible, scalable production designed for the ever-evolving demands of global aviation and defense. This next-generation manufacturing model ensures delivery precision, superior quality, and drastically reduced lead times—qualities that have won the trust of major aerospace partners.
Founder and CEO Vishal R. Sanghavi captures the company’s mission: “We are redefining aerospace manufacturing with software-driven precision, ensuring that high-quality parts are delivered reliably and on time. This funding from Elevation Capital and General Catalyst will allow us to build mega factories and enhance our technology while continuing to deliver exceptional value to our global customers.”
The confidence of industry leaders in Jeh Aerospace is further underscored by a recent strategic investment from IndiGo Ventures, the corporate VC arm of India’s flagship airline IndiGo. Announced in July 2025, this participation marks a significant milestone for Jeh, aligning with IndiGo Ventures’ first fund close and reflecting the company’s rapid ascent in delivering trusted solutions to the world’s aerospace heavyweights.
“We’re excited to partner with Vishal and Venky as they set new standards for how aerospace components are made,” said Ashray Iyengar, Principal at Elevation Capital. “Jeh has demonstrated exceptional execution and built a truly differentiated approach to aerospace manufacturing. What impresses us most is their ability to combine cutting-edge technology with deep manufacturing expertise, creating a solution that the global aerospace supply chain desperately needs.”
General Catalyst’s Akarsh Shrivastava adds, “Jeh Aerospace exemplifies the Global Resilience opportunity we’re investing in: companies that strengthen critical supply chains through responsible innovation. Their software-defined approach and proven delivery demonstrate the scalable, reliable production the aerospace industry needs. By harnessing exceptional engineering talent with proximity to US markets, Jeh is reshaping aerospace manufacturing and helping to set new global standards for excellence.”
Jeh Aerospace’s commitment goes beyond machinery and technology. Earlier this year, the company unveiled its Center for Skills—a rigorous in-house training program—aimed at nurturing a new generation of world-class aerospace engineers and technicians. Another ambitious initiative, the Center for Resilience, offers an advanced “speed shop” that has shattered traditional industry timelines, achieving lead times for New Product Introduction that are up to 10 times faster than standard aerospace machine shops.
With operational bases in both the United States and India, Jeh Aerospace exemplifies the power of friend-shoring: blending India’s deep engineering talent with close access to the U.S. market. This dual presence offers Jeh not only a competitive edge but also the ability to scale rapidly and deliver unmatched value across global supply chains. The company has indicated plans to expand further in both regions, reinforcing its commitment to serve a worldwide customer base.
Elevation Capital is recognized as a pioneer in early-stage venture funding in India, with over $2.6 billion invested in more than 190 transformative companies since 2002, including across AI, Fintech, and Deeptech. The firm recently closed its eighth fund at $670 million.
General Catalyst is a global transformation investor known for backing world-changing startups from seed to growth, including names such as Airbnb, Stripe, and Hubspot. With a commitment to driving responsible innovation, General Catalyst partners with entrepreneurs shaping resilient and sustainable industries.
Headquartered in Atlanta with state-of-the-art facilities in Hyderabad, Jeh Aerospace was founded by Vishal R. Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla. The company specializes in high-precision, software-defined aerospace and defense manufacturing, delivering flight-critical components at speeds and scales unparalleled within the industry. Jeh Aerospace stands at the forefront of engineering resilience—and excellence—across the global aerospace supply chain.
