Jeh Aerospace, the high-precision aerospace and defense manufacturing startup founded by Vishal Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla, has raised $11 million in a Series A round led by Elevation Capital, with support from General Catalyst, to scale its commercial aircraft supply chain manufacturing in India, according to OEM.

Jeh, based in Atlanta, GA, to better serve its U.S. customers, and also operating a 60,000-square-foot software-based manufacturing plant in Hyderabad, India, intends to build mega-factories using AI manufacturing systems to produce multiple components with improved quality and flexibility.

In 18 months, the three-year-old startup expanded from five to over 100 employees, supplied over 100,000 flight-critical components, and received $100 million in long-term OEM contracts. It has also combined precision machinery, robotics, and IoT devices to slash product introduction lead times from the industry’s traditional 15-week timeline to 15 days.

“We are redefining aerospace manufacturing with software-driven precision, ensuring that high-quality parts are delivered reliably and on time,” said founder and CEO Sanghavi. “This funding… will allow us to build mega factories and enhance our technology while continuing to deliver exceptional value to our global customers.”

Elevation Capital Principal Ashray Iyengar stated, “Jeh has demonstrated exceptional execution and built a truly differentiated approach to aerospace manufacturing… We’re excited to partner with Vishal and Venky as they set new standards for how aerospace components are made.”
