What Raghu Vamsi does

Raghu Vamsi Machine Tools Private Limited is a Hyderabad-headquartered precision aerospace and defence manufacturer founded in 1992. The company designs and manufactures high-tolerance CNC machined components, mechanical sub-assemblies, aero structures, fasteners, and indigenous defence systems including India's first 40 KGF micro turbojet engine and jet-powered loitering munitions. It operates 10 manufacturing facilities across India, the UK, and the USA, holding AS9100D and NADCAP certifications that enable Tier-1 supplier status with global aerospace OEMs.

The company's revenue is generated primarily through enterprise B2B contract manufacturing for global aerospace OEMs including GE Aerospace, Boeing, Rolls-Royce (via ITP Aero joint venture), Collins Aerospace, Honeywell, Safran, and Pratt & Whitney, alongside oil and gas majors (Halliburton, Baker Hughes, SLB) and Indian defence organizations (Indian Army, DRDO, ISRO, HAL, Bharat Dynamics Limited). A growing share of revenue comes from indigenous product sales including UAVs, kamikaze drones, micro turbojet engines, and autonomous ground tugs marketed to Indian defence and civil aviation customers. Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue models centered on long-term supply agreements and per-part pricing rather than licensing or subscription.

The business is led by Group Chairman & MD Vamsi Vikas (son of founder G. Thrimurthulu) and Group CEO & ED Preeti Vamsi, with a division-based management structure spanning OEM manufacturing, DeepTech and Autonomous Products (Arrobot), and Mission Systems and Propulsion. Strategic subsidiaries include wholly-owned WMT Precision LLC (USA, 2019), PMC Group (UK, 2024), and Comprotech (composites, 2018), plus joint ventures TISA Aerospace (with IIT-Kanpur, 2020) and Skanda (with Rave Gears USA, 2022). The company employs 1000+ people and reports revenue exceeding $60 million with a stated 35%+ CAGR.
