About the company – 

Fabheads was founded in 2018 by experienced engineers from ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) Abhijeet Rathore and Dhinesh Kanagaraj. The company got focused on synthesising 3-D material printing models in the year 2017. Akshay Ballal joined Fabhead from BIT-Mesra as an intern but entered as a full-time employee. Now he is the CPO (Chief Production Officer).

The deeptech startup has successfully raised two rounds of funding; it is well-known in the country to be one of the few companies that have developed their carbon fibre 3D process, which was patented. This benchmark is achieved by very few companies in India.

Currently, Fabheads is offering to manufacture and design services to robotics, drones and shipping companies across the country. Few companies it deals with are Planys, ADA (Aeronautical Development Agency), E-plane Company, Synergy Marine. It has currently joined with some Singapore based clients and launched a pilot operation across Asia.

IPV team took great efforts towards understanding our offerings and have also gone beyond that by already adding value to Fabheads by making extremely relevant connections via their large business network across India and the Middle East.”
