TIEA Expands R&D, Manufacturing with INR 22 Cr From Jamwant, Valour, Others

Valour Capital, Jamvant Ventures, IvyCapital and 8x Ventures are proud to announce their investment in TIEA Connectors Pvt. Ltd., a Bangalore-based leader in industrial electronic and automobile connectors. This strategic investment reinforces our commitment to fostering domestic manufacturing, reducing reliance on imports, and supporting companies that deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions across multiple industries.

TIEA’s products serve as fundamental components in a variety of sectors, including automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, and defence. Specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of wire connectors, terminals, PCB assemblies, and related solutions, TIEA has built a reputation for excellence, working with industry leaders such as Schneider Electric and Molex.

As India accelerates its push toward self-reliance in manufacturing, TIEA is playing a crucial role by producing high-quality components that have traditionally been imported. With a focus on performance, cost efficiency, and cutting-edge R&D—particularly in wireless power transfer and fire-retardant connectors—TIEA is positioned to become a key player in India’s industrial electronics sector.

Investment to Fuel Growth

“Our investment in TIEA aligns with our mission to support indigenous manufacturing and enhance India's industrial ecosystem. The company’s demand is far exceeding supply, and this funding will enable them to scale operations, expand manufacturing capacity, and advance their R&D initiatives,” said Karan Goshar, Managing Partner at Valour Capital. 

TIEA’s rapid growth trajectory is evident in its financial performance, growing 4x in FY2025. Currently operating at 90% manufacturing capacity, the additional capital will enable TIEA to scale its production to meet increasing demand from industries such as electric vehicles (EVs), drones, aerospace, and defence.

Founded by Ajith Sasidharan (CEO) and Punit Shridhar Joshi (CTO), TIEA’s leadership team brings deep expertise in business development, engineering, and product innovation. The company collaborates with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and has secured multiple design patents, reinforcing its commitment to technological advancement.

“We are excited to partner with Jamvant Ventures, Valour Capital and Ivy Capital as we scale our operations, push the boundaries of innovation, and continue delivering world-class solutions to our customers,” said Ajith Sasidharan, CEO of TIEA.

This investment is part of Valour Capital’s broader strategy of adding strategic assets to its portfolio—companies whose products can be leveraged across its wider network, creating synergies that drive efficiency and growth. As TIEA expands, it will not only meet domestic demand but also enhance India’s position in the global supply chain for advanced connector technologies.
