Executive Summary

Vishal R. Sanghavi is founder and CEO of Jeh Aerospace, a precision manufacturer of aero-engine and aerostructure components that he started in 2022 with Venkatesh Mudragalla. The company is headquartered in Atlanta and manufactures in Hyderabad, and it pitches itself on the US-India corridor as a way to add capacity to a constrained aerospace supply chain. Sanghavi spent about two decades at the Tata Group. He was Chief Operating Officer of Tata Boeing Aerospace, and the company says he was one of the youngest CXOs in the conglomerate. Jeh raised an $11 million Series A led by Elevation Capital in August 2025. At that point it reported $6 million in ARR, profitability after taxes and a $100 million order book. In April 2026 it signed a long-term supply agreement with Liebherr-Aerospace.

Professional Journey

Sanghavi built his career inside the Tata Group’s aerospace business during the period when it became a supplier to Western prime contractors through joint ventures. By TechCrunch’s account he spent about 20 years at Tata in various positions, working on programmes involving Boeing, Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin, and served as Chief Operating Officer of Tata Boeing Aerospace. Jeh Aerospace describes him as one of the youngest CXOs in the Tata conglomerate. Elevation Capital, which later led his Series A, says he and his co-founder “spent their careers building and running Tata Group’s aerospace joint ventures with Boeing and Sikorsky”. That background gave a new entrant credibility with customers that are slow to qualify new suppliers.

He founded Jeh Aerospace in 2022 with Venkatesh Mudragalla, another Tata aerospace veteran. The company makes flight-critical components and tooling, and it pairs precision machining with its own software for what it calls software-defined manufacturing. Elevation says this approach cut new-product introduction from an industry-standard 15 weeks to 15 days. Jeh closed a $2.75 million seed round in January 2024 and later took a strategic investment from IndiGo Ventures.

In August 2025, Jeh raised an $11 million Series A led by Elevation Capital, with General Catalyst participating again. TechCrunch reported about $6 million in ARR for the prior year, profitability after taxes, about 100 employees, a 60,000 sq ft plant in Hyderabad and a $100 million order book across roughly six customers. Sanghavi described the strategy as working with “lesser, but better customers”. Elevation said the company had delivered more than 100,000 flight-critical components.

The company then announced Mach 2, a facility of about 200,000 sq ft at Horizon Industrial Park near Hyderabad, and reported an order book above $150 million. Sanghavi described the new plant as “a software-defined, AI-augmented system”. In April 2026, Jeh signed a long-term agreement with Liebherr-Aerospace to make high-precision landing-gear components for high-rate commercial single-aisle programmes. By then it reported more than 200,000 components delivered.
