Engineering the carbon frontier for India.

Jaitraya Ventures is entering the graphene industry with two strategic bets: high-performance coatings for EMI shielding and anti-corrosion defence applications, and graphene admixtures that make precast concrete stronger while using ~20% less cement.

01 / Industry

The graphene industry in India

A quiet strategic buildup — from lab-scale synthesis to national missions.

Graphene — a single atomic layer of carbon arranged in a hexagonal lattice — is the strongest, thinnest and most conductive material ever measured. India has moved decisively over the last five years to build sovereign capability in this space.

In 2023 the Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY) announced the India Innovation Centre for Graphene (IICG) at Maker Village, Kochi — a ₹94 crore joint initiative with Digital University Kerala, C-MET and Tata Steel to translate graphene research into commercial products. In parallel, the National Graphene Mission is being scoped to coordinate synthesis, standards and application development across defence, energy and construction.

The Indian market — coatings, composites, energy storage, sensors and biomedical — is projected to cross USD 750 million by 2030, growing at 35% CAGR. Defence applications (EMI shielding for radar, stealth coatings, corrosion protection for naval assets) and infrastructure (high-performance concrete, road overlays) are the two verticals with the sharpest strategic pull.

03 / What Jaitraya is building

Two verticals. One material platform.

Formulations engineered in India, for Indian defence and infrastructure.

Defence & Advanced Tech01

Graphene coatings for EMI shielding & anti-corrosion

Multi-functional graphene-composite coatings for radar equipment, avionics enclosures, naval hulls and offshore infrastructure. Engineered for > 30 dB shielding effectiveness across 1–18 GHz while cutting corrosion rate by an order of magnitude over conventional zinc-epoxy systems.

EMI/EMC shielding for defence electronics & C4ISR enclosures
Sacrificial-free anti-corrosion for naval, coastal & offshore assets
Low-observable / RAM-compatible surface finishes
Sprayable, brushable and dip-application formulations

Infrastructure02

Graphene admixtures for precast concrete

A graphene-oxide dispersion dosed at parts-per-thousand into cement matrices — nucleating denser C-S-H gel, refining pore structure and improving flexural strength by 25–40%. The result: precast elements that hit design strength with ~20% less cement, or exceed it at parity.

~20% cement reduction at equal compressive strength
Higher flexural & tensile capacity for thinner sections
Reduced permeability → longer service life in harsh exposure
Direct CO₂ savings — measurable against IGBC & GRIHA credits

05 / Founder

Meet the founder

Second-generation industrialist bringing advanced materials into India's testing, defence and infrastructure supply chains.

Anirudh Ram Rajha

Founder · Jaitraya Ventures

I'm Anirudh Ram Rajha — a BBA graduate from Manipal University and an MBA from NMIMS, Mumbai (2021–23). I currently manage my family business in Chennai, Sudharsan Insulations, where we manufacture high-voltage and high-current test kits used across testing & commissioning workflows and heavy-industry applications.

My exposure to graphene began at the Graphene India Conference, Kochi 2026, where I got a first-hand view of the domestic supply chain, the IICG mandate and the application gaps between lab-grade material and industrial deployment.

Jaitraya Ventures is my own firm, formed to venture into the graphene advanced-materials industry — starting with EMI shielding and anti-corrosion coatings for defence, and graphene-enhanced admixtures for the concrete industry, and expanding into adjacent manufacturing opportunities as the market matures.

Education: BBA — Manipal University · MBA — NMIMS Mumbai
Currently: Managing Director, Sudharsan Insulations (Chennai)
Domain exposure: Graphene India Conference, Kochi 2026
