“From our humble start in 2016 as a bootstrapped team of five, we’ve grown to over Rs 200 crore in revenue with 380 employees for FY 2023-24, all without external funding. Welcoming this first round of private placement fills us with gratitude and a profound sense of responsibility,” said Anil Puthan, Chairman and Managing Director of Unimech Aerospace.

“By leveraging our investors’ expertise in private and public equity, we aim to strengthen our strategies and operations… The funds raised from this investment will bolster Unimech’s expansion efforts and strategic objectives,” he added.

“We are excited to partner with Unimech. Unimech showcases India’s rise in global manufacturing with its technical expertise and ambitious yet prudent approach. The founders’ journey represents a new generation of Indian entrepreneurs who combine bold ambitions with prudent business building. We believe Unimech is on a strong growth path as India secures its place in global manufacturing,” said Puneet Kumar, Managing Director at Steadview.

Unimech Aerospace’s clients include top aerospace, energy, defence, and semiconductor OEMs. With diverse capabilities, it has also established itself as an export-oriented company with a presence in the US, Europe, and the UK.
