IndiGo Ventures makes first close of debut fund at Rs 450 Cr, invests in Jeh Aerospace IndiGo Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of airline company IndiGo, announced the first close of its maiden fund at Rs 450 crore. Launched in August 2024 with regulatory approval from SEBI to raise Rs 600 crore, the fund focuses on investing in early-stage startups driving innovation in aviation and allied sectors. It targets companies at the pre-Series A to Series B stages, emphasizing long-term strategic alignment. With the first close completed, the firm approved an investment in Jeh Aerospace, a company operating in aerospace and defense manufacturing, for an undisclosed amount. This step is part of IndiGo’s innovation agenda, which combines operational expertise with capital to support entrepreneurs addressing challenges in aerospace and related domains. “This investment also strengthens the Indo-U.S. aerospace ties, advances Make-in-India and accelerates innovation, contributing to realising India’s potential to become a global aerospace and aviation hub,” said Pieter Elbers, chief executive officer at IndiGo. Jeh Aerospace will use the investment to scale its digital manufacturing infrastructure, enhance its AI-driven production optimization and supply chain integration platforms, and attract engineering and production talent. Founded by industry veterans Vishal Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla, Jeh Aerospace provides manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain management solutions to the global aerospace and defense industry. Within its first year of operations, Jeh Aerospace has scaled to a 100-member team of engineers and technicians, delivered 100,000 flight-critical aeroengine components and precision tools meeting AS9100 standards, and secured $100 million in long-term contracts with global aerospace companies.
