Hello followers! Today, let’s dive into a fascinating story about how a clever startup is reshaping aircraft component production with just a splash of tech-savvy brilliance.

Meet Jeh Aerospace, an Indian startup founded by former Tata Group executives Vishal Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla. These guys, with their close to two decades of aerospace experience, saw how production bottlenecks are stalling the booming commercial aircraft industry.

They’ve now snagged an $11 million Series A round, aiming to boost the manufacturing of metal parts for engines and structure components. Instead of going straight to big OEMs like Airbus and Boeing, Jeh caters to Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers—those key players making up 60-70% of aircraft parts—helping to speed up and streamline their supply chains.

With a sleek 60,000 sq ft facility in Hyderabad and a clever mix of robotics and IoT, Jeh Aerospace has cut product lead times from weeks to days. Their tech-driven approach not only guarantees consistent, high-quality supply but also offers better predictability and efficiency for their clients.

The startup’s current customers include GS Precision and RH Aero, with plans to expand further. They’ve already delivered over 100,000 flight-critical components and expect arming with new capital to triple their revenue this year. Jeh’s mission? To make India a major hub for aerospace component manufacturing, much like its rise as a center for iPhone production.

India’s importance in global aerospace sourcing is increasing, with giants like Airbus and Boeing sourcing billions worth of parts from the country. Jeh Aerospace plans to capitalize on this momentum, filling a gap in large-scale Indian aerospace manufacturing, a space few startups have entered.
