Jeh Aerospace Raises $11M to Boost Aircraft Supply Chain
August 12, 2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: 1 minute
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.”

Defense Speak Interpreted: If CHIPS Cuts Back, What Happens to Electronics Packaging Funds?
09/02/2025 | Dennis Fritz -- Column: Defense Speak InterpretedIn my May column, I examined the topic of the CHIPS Act and its current status as a U.S. government program. I found that CHIPS activities continue, but some corporations have delayed or canceled them because of budget cuts or corporation-specific problems. However, CHIPS integrated circuits—mostly administered by the Department of Commerce—don’t fully drive the electronics interconnection activity being funded by the government. Let’s cover the progress/status of other programs:
