That Indian jet engine guy. Broke founder @ DGPropulsion. Jet engines in India. Propelling India forward.
- Indian Jet Engines, no matter what. Period. When the PM says from the Red Fort on Independence Day that India must develop its own jet engines… you don’t treat it as a soundbite. You treat it as a mission. And That’s what we are doing , DAY IN- DAY OUT. #DGPropulsion
- The Made-in-India compressor impellers are here — and they look stunning right now. 😍 But beauty isn’t the goal — performance is. In the coming weeks, they’ll go through some of the most brutal testing we’ve ever done — stress, efficiency, thermal, you name it. They won’t be
00:00- A powerful moment, the made-in-India turbine wheel in the hands of Hon’ble Minister of Home Affairs, Shri Amit Shah Ji. 🇮🇳 He was keenly interested in the work and happy to know that we are designing and building these jet engine components here in India. This is more than just
- India deserves its own jet engines. Not borrowed. Not licensed. Built right here, by its own hands. A nation that dreams of being a superpower must first become a supernation; one that builds, tests, and flies on its own technology. Words were never my strength, work is. And
- In building jet propulsion systems, it’s easy to focus only on the big picture—thrust, performance, efficiency. But every big system is only as good as the small ones holding it together. We just successfully tested our in-house developed starter motor controller—something we
- They said it’s too complex. That this kind of compressor geometry can’t be machined easily in India. But here it is — done on 5-axis, no shortcuts, no compromises. It’s not just a part. It’s capability. Built brick by brick, chip by chip — with Indian hands, on Indian

00:00 - The kN device ran full tilt for 30 minutes straight—no breaks, no hiccups. The more we test, the more data we collect, and the better our engines get. Testing nahi rukni chahiye.
00:00 - After nearly 3 years, we finally have our fully integrated JETECU. All controls — starter, ignition, solenoids, sensors, fuel — on a single PCB, ruggedized for aerospace environments. Just one battery connection powers the entire engine system. No external relays, no breakout
- Reaching the KILO-N! We’ve successfully test-run our 100kg (1 kN) engine using the same engine controller. This big boy makes same thrust at idle as 40kg at full throttle. My hands still shaking with the adrenaline. Just needs a bit of startup tuning and a BIGGER fuel pump

- Dual Engine Test Run was a success. You probably already know where we are going with this! 2 FADECs - 1 COMMAND Video coming out later. #DualEngine @ #DGPropulsion
- Working on the new design. Just ~3.5 kg. Lighter, easier to service, better to maintain. Built with metal 3D printing — not because it sounds flashy, but because it works. We don’t hide behind jargon. We prove, test, and use. #DGPropulsion #JetEngines #Engineering
- What do you see in the picture on the left—just an empty piece of land? I see the beginning of something we've dreamed about for years. DG Propulsion has finally broken ground. We’re building our own jet engine manufacturing and testing facility. It’s a small step now, but it
