Medial

Bengaluru-based aerospace components manufacturer JJG Aero has raised $12 million (approximately Rs 100 crore) from CX Partners. The fresh proceeds will be primarily used for increasing its manufacturing capacity at its new facility, vertical integration, and other corporate initiatives. Founded in 2008, JJG Aero offers a wide range of manufacturing services, complemented by over 30 NADCAP-approved special processes, including electroplating, anodizing, paint, and NDT. While the company is primarily focused on building its business in the commercial aerospace segment, its diverse capabilities are put to use with its customers in automotive and industrial segments. The company claims to work with American and European OEMs including tier-1 vendors and achieve 35% CAGR over the last three years. Before this latest investment, JJG Aero was completely owned by J.J Glastronics Private Limited with 99.97% holding. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, JJG Aero registered a 2.2X year-on-year growth to Rs 87 crore during the fiscal year ended March 2023. Significantly, the profits of the Bengaluru-based firm surged 3.2X to Rs 7.5 crore in the same period. The firm is yet to file FY24 financial results. The investment in India’s spacetech funding tripled between 2021 and 2023. As per data compiled by TheKredible, the total funding in the sector surged nearly 3X to nearly $100 million in 2023 from $32.44 million in 2021. Some of the top fundraisers include Pixxel, Skyroot Aerospace, and AgniKul Cosmos among others. In the ongoing calendar year, its direct competitor Jeh Aerospace raised $2.75 million in a seed funding round led by General Catalyst.

Workspace solution provider Incuspaze has raised around $8 million led by the India Inflection Opportunity Fund (IIOF) and other financial institutions in its maiden funding round. This strategic investment will beef up Incuspaze’s capabilities to provide top-tier workspace solutions to enterprises, MSMEs, and startups, the company said in a statement. Incuspaze claims that it has a portfolio of 3 million square feet in 18 cities across 44 locations. The firm recently leased 220,000 square feet of space in Gurugram’s M3M Urbana project. Led by Sanjay Choudhary, the eight-year-old firm aims to expand its portfolio in southern India, with a focus on Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. PhonePe, Byju’s, Flipkart, and Girnarsoft, among others are its top clients. For the fiscal year ending in March 2023 (FY23), Incuspaze reported a more than three fold jump in its operating revenue to Rs 50 crore against Rs 14.84 crore in FY22. During FY23, it managed to cut losses to Rs 98 lakh from Rs 5 crore. Incuspaze is yet to file its annual report for the last fiscal year (FY24). According to a June 2024 report by property consultancy Colliers, the flexible office space segment across the top-6 cities in India registered its highest ever quarterly demand in the April-June period. Bengaluru and Delhi-NCR alone accounted for 65% of the overall demand. In November last year, Pantomath Financial Services Group closed its pre-IPO fund called the India Inflection Opportunity Fund (IIOF) at $60 million. While Incuspaze has not commented on its IPO plans, the strategic money from the IIOF hints at a definitive public listing roadmap as the investment firm majorly invests in IPO-bound companies. In the co-working space, Awfis became the first Indian startup to get listed on the stock exchange. Recently, another co-working startup Smartworks took a step towards potential public listing and converted itself into a public company. Entrackr exclusively reported the development in the first half of July.
