Misochain Technologies Pvt Ltd a Bengaluru-based aerospace deep-tech startup, has raised ₹18 crore in a seed funding round led by Capital-A, a venture capital firm focused on manufacturing and deep technology. The funding will support the development of indigenous, flight-critical aircraft components for defence and global aviation platforms.
The capital will be used to establish a manufacturing facility for critical aerospace components, advance certification programmes, and expand engineering, testing, and maintenance capabilities for UAV manufacturers and global aerospace customers. The investment is expected to strengthen Misochain’s position within India’s growing aerospace manufacturing ecosystem.
Founded in 2019 by former Honeywell Aerospace engineers Rama Kandula and Murali Krishnan, Misochain focuses on components that are currently imported into India despite their critical role in aircraft systems. Its product portfolio includes air data probes, vibration isolation systems, actuators, and solenoid valves used in flight management and control systems. The company is among the few in India developing air data probes domestically, a segment marked by strict certification requirements and long-term supplier relationships.
Rama Kandula, Co-Founder and CEO, said the funding would help accelerate certification timelines, deepen engineering capabilities, and move toward large-scale deployment across defence and aviation platforms.
Capital-A founder and lead investor Ankit Kedia highlighted that Misochain has reached an important milestone by achieving technical qualification for flight-critical systems, placing it among a limited group of suppliers with long-term relevance to India’s defence and global aerospace supply chains.
The investment comes as global aerospace manufacturers increasingly look to India for supply chain diversification, while defence indigenisation initiatives and rapid growth in the UAV sector drive demand for certified, locally manufactured components. Industry estimates suggest a domestic market worth several hundred crore rupees for air data probes over the next five years, alongside a much larger global opportunity.
Misochain follows a capital-efficient model, outsourcing precision machining while retaining design, assembly, testing, certification, and intellectual property in-house. The company holds AS9100D certification for design and manufacturing and has developed proprietary probe-heating technologies suited for extreme operating conditions. Misochain is part of the MaXcel accelerator programme run by Capital-A and SanchiConnect, which supports hardware and industrial technology startups focused on advanced manufacturing.
