Hyderabad-based startup Jeh Aerospace has secured $11 million in a Series A funding round to address global supply chain challenges in the commercial aerospace industry. The funding, led by Elevation Capital and General Catalyst, marks a significant step for the company as it aims to scale its innovative manufacturing solutions from India.
Founded with a vision to transform aerospace manufacturing, Jeh Aerospace leverages software-defined production to enhance efficiency and precision. The startup is positioned to ease bottlenecks in the global supply chain, which has been under strain due to unprecedented backlogs and geopolitical disruptions.
The investment will enable Jeh Aerospace to expand its digital manufacturing infrastructure, ensuring faster delivery of high-quality aerospace components. This comes at a critical time when the industry faces a backlog of over 15,700 aircraft, a challenge that could take more than a decade to resolve without innovative interventions.
In addition to the recent funding, Jeh Aerospace has also received strategic investment from IndiGo Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of India’s leading airline, IndiGo. This partnership underscores the startup’s potential to redefine India’s role in the global aerospace ecosystem.
With advanced facilities in India, the company promises uncompromising quality and scalability, positioning the country as a key player in aerospace manufacturing. Industry experts see this as a once-in-a-generation opportunity for India to lead in this sector.
As Jeh Aerospace continues to grow, it aims to tackle broader industry challenges such as talent shortages and fractured supply chains, paving the way for a more resilient and efficient future in commercial aviation.
