Bengaluru-based aerospace startup Nabhdrishti Aerospace has raised $3 million (around ₹25 crore) in a funding round led by Accel, with support from IIMA Ventures and existing investors.
The fresh fund will be used to advance the development and testing of its engine prototypes and hire new talent.
Founded in 2023 by Rohit Chouhan, Arjun Srivatsa, and Antanu Sadhu, the company is focused on creating small gas turbines for hybrid urban air mobility, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and decentralized power generation.
Nabhdrishti’s engines are designed to serve dual purposes — providing propulsion and power. They can be used in various sectors, including hospitals, heavy vehicles, manufacturing units, light aircraft, helicopters, and hybrid electric flights.

This funding marks a significant step toward achieving its goal of delivering innovative, eco-friendly propulsion systems for the future of aviation.
