Why This Matters
Founded in 2018 by Gurushankara K C, Abhinav Alva and Chetan Kumar, DheyaTech develops 20–400 kgf micro gas turbine engines for aerospace, aerial mobility and distributed power applications. With confirmed OEM orders and flight trials planned for Q4 2026, the company is moving from engine development toward commercial deployment.
What’s the Bigger Picture?
India’s emerging propulsion ecosystem is expanding beyond conventional aerospace manufacturing into homegrown gas turbines, fuel-flexible systems and hydrogen-based propulsion. Startups are targeting applications ranging from UAVs and advanced aerial platforms to distributed power, creating demand for specialised deeptech capabilities across the propulsion value chain.
Key Takeaways
The ₹43 crore round was led by Avaana Capital, with participation from Unimech Aerospace and Manufacturing. DheyaTech will use the capital to increase production, establish testing infrastructure and accelerate customer deployments, while advancing its adaptive ECU, fuel-flexible and hydrogen-based technologies.
