NEW DELHI, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Raphe mPhibr (\u0930\u0947\u092b\u0940 \u090f\u092e \u092b\u093e\u0907\u092c\u0930), India\u2019s most innovative aircraft manufacturing company, announced today that it has raised $100 million in a round led by General Catalyst, with participation from existing investors, including Amal Parikh, Think Investments, and other prominent high-net-worth family offices. This is the largest round of private funding raised by an Indian company in this industry to date and takes Raphe mPhibr\u2019s total capital raised to $145 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to join forces with Raphe mPhibr on their transformative journey to redefine engineering-led manufacturing across a spectrum of critical applications,\u201d said Neeraj Arora, Managing Director at General Catalyst. \u201cWhat sets this team apart is their unwavering, mission-driven ethos, coupled with an expansive vision and formidable technological depth. The products emerging from Raphe mPhibr are already making a tangible impact on the ground, signalling what we believe will be a monumental shift. Their work is not only accelerating India\u2019s path to strategic self-reliance but also embodies the essence of our Global Resilience<\/a> thesis at General Catalyst\u2014building for a future that is secure, sovereign, and sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRaphe mPhibr is uniquely positioned to develop cutting-edge aircrafts and UAVs given their robust, end-to-end design, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities,\u201d shared Shashin Shah, Managing Partner, Think Investments. \u201cWe are excited to deepen our partnership with the Raphe mPhibr team, and this investment underscores our conviction that it will emerge as one of the foremost aerospace companies in India.\u201d<\/p>\n

Built with Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded nearly a decade ago, Raphe mPhibr grew alongside India\u2019s national vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India. These policies laid the foundation for building essential technologies within the country, especially in defence, where the needs of security forces continue to evolve in a complex and fast-changing world. Raphe mPhibr was born to serve that mission: to design and build solutions in India for those who protect it.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Nature<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raphe mPhibr\u2019s engineering has always drawn from a timeless source: nature. As Aryabhata wrote, nature operates through laws and patterns that reveal themselves through observation and analysis. That philosophy shapes how the company builds and organises itself. Raphe mPhibr is built around strong engineering and science departments, with dedicated teams in aerodynamics, materials science, structural mechanics, vibrations, thermodynamics, electromagnetics, and more. Not just to model the world, but to build systems that move with its logic, not against it.<\/p>\n

Turning observations into working solutions demanded more than insight; it required capability. To deliver technology that India\u2019s forces could rely on in mountains, deserts, oceans, and beyond, Raphe mPhibr had to create India\u2019s most advanced, end-to-end aerospace manufacturing campus.<\/p>\n

Building End-to-End <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIndia has single-handedly developed its technology [\u2026] without spying or stealing the knowledge from other countries.\u201d \u2014\u202fDr. R. Chidambaram, in his Science Popularisation Lecture at the 2019 Goa Science Film Festival.<\/p>\n

That belief in building with integrity and technical depth continues at Raphe mPhibr. The company didn\u2019t set out to assemble parts, it set out to engineer solutions end-to-end. And to do so, Raphe mPhibr created a campus where design, simulation, manufacturing, and testing all work together, under one roof. As a result, the headquarters houses India\u2019s most advanced metal processing, composite manufacturing, engine design and testing, and military-grade electronics facility.<\/p>\n

Every manufacturing centre was designed with a single goal: to deliver systems our security forces can rely on. Many of these systems are already in the field:<\/p>\n
