Jeh Aerospace, a burgeoning startup founded just three years ago, has garnered significant attention in the aviation industry by raising $11 million in Series A funding. With this capital influx, Moove says it’s on track to reach five million monthly rides by 2025. Along with allowing improved competitiveness among commercial aircraft supply chain in India. Jeh Aerospace’s vision is to make India the preferred hub of aerospace components manufacturing. We know that they’re poised to make a powerful change in the sector.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Jeh Aerospace strategically positions itself to access its U.S. customer base while maintaining a robust presence in India. The company’s state-of-the-art center in Hyderabad sprawls across 60,000 square feet. It produces some of the most cutting-edge technologies itself, like precision machinery, robotics, and IoT devices. Jeh Aerospace is doing something new and different. As a result, they’ve reduced new product introduction lead times from 15 weeks to only 15 days.
Founders Vishal Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla leverage decades of experience gained from their past work in the commercial aviation industry. Both have experienced the increasing production chokepoints that have gripped the industry. Their perspectives inspired the development of an advisory board. This team has very strong ties to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), helping Jeh Aerospace to identify market needs and address them in an impactful way.
Jeh Aerospace’s downstream manufacturing capabilities are no small feat either, as they have the capacity for 250,000 hours per year worth of machined parts. So far, the company produced more than 100,000 flight-critical components and tooling ahead of schedule. This accomplishment is a testament to its deep conviction for quality and dependability. Last fiscal year, Jeh Aerospace posted a remarkable ARR of $6 million. They made a big deal of being the first transit agency to be profitable after taxes!
In fact, Jeh Aerospace is on track for a spectacular 3x to 4x increase in its ARR this year. This expansion is supported by an exciting order book of $100 million. The company, which to date has serviced about half a dozen paying customers such as heavy-hitters GS Precision and RH Aero.
Jeh Aerospace has extensive and advanced manufacturing capabilities. Additionally, it has rolled out a Center for Aerospace Skill to educate the future workforce in the aviation industry. Now, this initiative is a further testament to their commitment to nurturing talent and advancing innovation within the aerospace ecosystem of India’s fast-growing capital.
“What we believe is that to work with lesser, but better customers, not to have a transactional relationship, but a far deeper and meaningful relationship. So, we are also very, very focused on not having too many customers.” – Vishal Sanghavi
At the same time the demand for aerospace components is on the rise across the globe. Jeh Aerospace is poised to fit that bill, and they are positioning themselves to be market leaders, capable of supplying domestic and international markets. The company employs cutting edge manufacturing technologies and techniques to bring new solutions to production challenges. It further creates strategic alliances to smooth pinch points in the bottlenecked commercial aircraft industry.
Sanghavi further elaborated on their vision for Jeh Aerospace:
“At Tatas, we unlocked India’s potential for these large OEMs, Boeing, Airbus, Sikorsky, and GE [General Electric], but we wanted Jeh Aerospace to unlock India’s potential for the large Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers in the supply chain.” – Vishal Sanghavi
As the demand for aerospace components continues to rise globally, Jeh Aerospace is positioning itself as a key player capable of addressing the needs of both domestic and international markets. With its advanced manufacturing techniques and strategic partnerships, the company aims to alleviate some of the bottlenecks currently hindering production in the commercial aircraft sector.
