About
Ethereal Machines is a Bengaluru-based deep-tech manufacturing startup founded in 2014 by Kaushik Mudda and Navin Jain, pioneering India's first 5-axis CNC machining technology and revolutionizing precision manufacturing through their innovative "Machining-as-a-Service" model. Over the past decade, they've transformed from a Bangalore dorm room into a 55,000 sq ft smart factory, growing to 52 employees with plans to expand to a 300,000 sq ft smart factory through an MoU signed with the Government of Karnataka at Invest Karnataka 2025. They specialize in manufacturing 5-axis and 3-axis CNC machines, hybrid systems combining additive (3D printing) and subtractive manufacturing, and delivering precision-machined parts from prototyping to mass production for aerospace, healthcare, electronics, plastic industry, and drone manufacturing sectors. Their proprietary technology enables users to machine complex shapes efficiently in a single setup with better design flexibility and greater part strength, and they recently became India's first company to win a CES Best of Innovation Award for their consumer-oriented 5D printer called Ethereal Halo. Despite years of skepticism, frugal engineering, and financial hurdles, they've grown to power India's deeptech rise in global manufacturing, positioning themselves as faster and cheaper than traditional manufacturers while offering distinct advantages in part size, material options, finishing techniques, and customer service. Ethereal is building a 300,000 sq. ft. mega-factory near Bengaluru — one of the largest automated advanced manufacturing facilities outside China — along with the development of India's first proprietary multi-axis CNC controller and dedicated teams in the US and Europe to serve global OEMs directly.
