Jeh Aerospace Secures $11 Million from Elevation Capital, General Catalyst to Scale Next-Generation Aerospace Manufacturing

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jeh Aerospace, one of the world’s fastest-growing aerospace manufacturing startups, has raised $11 million in Series A funding round led by Elevation Capital, with participation from existing investor General Catalyst. In just 18 months since its seed round, Jeh Aerospace has scaled to a team of over 100, delivered more than 100,000 flight-critical components and tools, and secured $100 million in long-term contracts with global aerospace leaders, cementing its position as an industry innovator.

Jeh Aerospace is building world-class precision manufacturing powered by software-defined manufacturing. This approach utilises advanced software, automation and AI to create flexible and reliable factories that can scale to meet the aerospace industry’s most challenging demands, delivering high-quality parts on time, every time, in less time.

A strategic investment from IndiGo Ventures, the venture capital arm of IndiGo, India’s largest airline, announced in July 2025, reflects Jeh Aerospace’s remarkable growth and leadership in innovative manufacturing. This investment, part of IndiGo Ventures’ first fund close, underscores Jeh’s ability to deliver trusted solutions to global aerospace companies.

Vishal R. Sanghavi, Founder & CEO, Jeh Aerospace, said, “We are redefining aerospace manufacturing with software-driven precision, ensuring that high-quality parts are delivered reliably and on time. This funding from Elevation Capital and General Catalyst will allow us to build mega factories and enhance our technology while continuing to deliver exceptional value to our global customers.”

Jeh Aerospace is building resilience in aerospace manufacturing by focusing on talent and technology. Earlier this year, it launched its Center for Skills, an in-house training program to develop world-class engineers and technicians. Its Center for Resilience, a cutting-edge speed shop, has improved lead times for NPI (New Product Introduction) that are 10 times faster than traditional aerospace machine shops, setting a new benchmark for efficiency.

Ashray Iyengar, Principal, Elevation Capital, said, “Jeh has demonstrated exceptional execution and built a truly differentiated approach to aerospace manufacturing. Their software-defined manufacturing model addresses a fundamental challenge in the industry - the need for both precision and agility in production. What impresses us most is their ability to combine cutting-edge technology with deep manufacturing expertise, creating a solution that the global aerospace supply chain desperately needs. We're excited to partner with Vishal and Venky as they set new standards for how aerospace components are made.”

Akarsh Shrivastava, Partner at global investment and transformation company General Catalyst, commented, "Jeh Aerospace exemplifies the Global Resilience opportunity we're investing in: companies that strengthen critical supply chains through responsible innovation. Their software-defined manufacturing approach and proven delivery demonstrate the scalable, reliable production the aerospace industry needs. By harnessing exceptional engineering talent with proximity to US markets, Jeh is reshaping aerospace manufacturing and helping to set new global standards for excellence. Vishal and Venky have built a stellar team and a strong customer-first culture over the past 18 months, and we are excited about what lies ahead for Jeh."

With operations in the U.S. and India, Jeh Aerospace leverages friend-shoring to combine access to the U.S. market with India’s skilled talent pool, creating a powerful competitive edge. The company plans to further expand its presence and operations in both regions to serve global customers.
