In a global aerospace and defense industry grappling with supply chain constraints and a demand for agile, high-precision manufacturing, Jeh Aerospace has emerged as a key player leveraging the strategic partnership between the United States and India. The company, co-founded by industry veterans, is rapidly establishing itself by combining a deep well of manufacturing expertise with cutting-edge “software-defined manufacturing” to deliver flight-critical components at a speed and scale that sets it apart from traditional players.
Company Overview & Mission
Jeh Aerospace specializes in providing comprehensive manufacturing solutions for aerostructures and aero-engine components for the commercial aerospace sector [1]. The company’s core mission is to deliver engineering and manufacturing capacities reliably and at speed to global aerospace companies, thereby helping them build resilience in their supply chains [2]. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company operates advanced manufacturing facilities in Hyderabad, India, strategically positioning itself to leverage the US market’s demand and India’s skilled talent pool and robust manufacturing base [3, 4].
Services & Core Capabilities
Jeh Aerospace offers a one-stop solution for a wide range of services, including:
- Structural Assembly: The creation of complex aerospace structures.
- Machining: Precision manufacturing of components.
- Sheet Metal: Fabrication of metal parts.
- Tubes & Pipes: Production of specialized fluid and air conduits.
- Surface Treatment: Application of protective and functional coatings.
- Engineering Services: Providing expert support and design capabilities [1].
The company’s approach is defined by its “Future Factories,” which are powered by software, automation, and AI. This technology-driven model allows for the creation of flexible and reliable factories that can scale to meet challenging industry demands, delivering high-quality parts on time. This approach has already resulted in significant achievements, including a customer testimonial highlighting a 30% reduction in lead time [1, 3].
Leadership & Growth
Jeh Aerospace was co-founded in 2022 by Vishal R. Sanghavi, who serves as Founder & CEO, and Venkatesh Mudragalla, Co-founder & COO. Both founders previously worked at Tata’s aerospace joint ventures with major US firms like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Sikorsky [3, 5]. This rich background has enabled them to build a stellar team and a strong customer-first culture. In just 18 months since its seed funding round, the company has grown to a team of over 100 professionals and secured $100 million in long-term contracts with global aerospace leaders [3, 4]. The company has also demonstrated a commitment to nurturing talent by launching the “Centre for Skills,” an in-house training program for engineers and technicians [5].
Recent Funding & Strategic Vision
The company’s rapid growth and innovative model have attracted significant investor interest. In July 2025, Jeh Aerospace secured a strategic investment from IndiGo Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of the airline IndiGo [6, 7]. This was followed by a major milestone in August 2025, when the company raised $11 million in a Series A funding round. This round was led by Elevation Capital, with participation from existing investor General Catalyst. The funds are earmarked for building “mega factories” and advancing their software-defined manufacturing capabilities [4, 5]. This investment reflects a strong belief in the company’s “friend-shoring” strategy, which aims to strengthen critical supply chains by leveraging the combined strengths of the US and India [4].
