Eternal-owned Zomato's founder, Deepinder Goyal, announced in a social media post that LAT Aerospace, an aviation startup backed by him, is setting up a propulsion research team in Bengaluru to build an India-made gas turbine engine. The startup is looking for people with a history in building turbines and rotors.

The firm seeks to develop a gas turbine engine, entirely Made-in-India, to produce lightweight, efficient, and ready-for-flight machinery.

"At LAT, we aim to cross the finish line. We are assembling a propulsion research team in Bangalore that is dedicated exclusively to creating gas turbine engines from the ground up. Feathery, Effective, Ready for takeoff. "Made in India," Goyal stated in his post on platform X.

The founder of Zomato stated that India has attempted to create a domestically produced gas turbine engine in the past, but at LAT, they are now nearing the completion of one. India has attempted to develop gas turbine engines in the past.

“And we’ve nearly made it,” Goyal mentioned in his post.

In the post, Goyal explicitly stated that LAT Aerospace is not affiliated with Eternal Ltd, the owner of the online food delivery leader Zomato and the e-commerce giant BlinkIt. LAT Aerospace seeks individuals with experience in constructing turbines, rotors, or related items for control systems. Goyal emphasized that the company is providing engineers with the ‘freedom to think’ as well as the opportunity to create, dismantle, and recreate.”

“If you’ve constructed turbines, rotors, control systems — or anything similar — and wish to join a project that could potentially make history, contact us at engines@lat.com,” Goyal stated in his message.

LAT Aerospace's research facility includes laboratories for combustion, turbomachinery, thermal systems, and materials, providing engineers with an area to create.

“Furthermore, this group will be directed by engineers. No delays awaiting consent from 'business' individuals. No following slides or conferences. Simply engaging in practical problem solving, conducting bench tests, collaborating with suppliers, creating hardware from the ground up — and stretching the boundaries of design and physics daily,” Goyal stated.
