Misochain Technologies raises Rs 18 crore in funding to advance indigenous aerospace components

Bengaluru-based aerospace deeptech startup Misochain Technologies has raised Rs 18 crore in a seed funding round led by Capital-A, a venture capital fund for manufacturing and deeptech.

The startup will use the fresh capital to setup a manufacturing facility to produce critical aerospace components for the aerospace industry, accelerate product certification programmes and scale engineering and testing capabilities (MRO) for UAV manufacturers, and global aerospace customers. 

Founded in 2019 by former Honeywell Aerospace engineers Rama Kandula and Murali Krishnan, Misochain develops flight-critical aircraft components that continue to be largely imported into India. Its portfolio includes air data probes, vibration isolation systems, actuators, and solenoid valves, which feed directly into aircraft flight management and control systems.

Misochain is working on developing Air Data Probes in India in a tightly regulated segment characterized by high certification thresholds, long supplier tenures on aircraft platforms, and strong long-term continuity.

“India has built strong aircraft and defence platforms, yet many flight-critical subsystems still depend on overseas suppliers,” said Rama Kandula, Co-Founder and CEO, Misochain Technologies.

“This investment allows us to advance certification timelines, expand engineering depth, and move closer to serial deployment across defence and aviation platforms.” 

“Aerospace manufacturing is defined by certification depth, execution discipline, and long product lifecycles,” said Ankit Kedia, Founder and Lead Investor at Capital-A.

“Misochain has crossed a key inflection point by achieving technical qualification for flight-critical systems, placing it among a small group of suppliers with durable relevance to India’s defence ecosystem and global aerospace supply chains.”

Misochain operates a capital-efficient manufacturing model, outsourcing precision machining to qualified partners while retaining design, assembly, testing, certification, and intellectual property in-house.

The company is AS9100D certified for both design and manufacturing and has developed proprietary probe-heating technologies designed for extreme flight environments. 

Misochain is part of MaXcel, the hardware and industrial technology accelerator run by Capital-A and SanchiConnect, supporting startups building engineering-led manufacturing solutions.
