    Indian startup Jeh Aerospace inaugurated its new aerospace and defence manufacturing facility in Hyderabad on Tuesday. The new facility is estimated to be extended up to 1,60,000 sq ft and will provide manufacturing solutions to the aerospace and defence industry, the company said in a statement.

    The manufacturing hub has been established by the company after it managed to secure seed funding worth $ 2.75 million from General Catalyst. The startup also raised funding from aerospace industry veterans such as Airbus India's Former CEO and MD Dwarakanath Srinivasan and former President, of Boeing India Pratyush Kumar. General Catalyst is a San Francisco-based leading global venture capital company.
