The first seeds were sown in 1964 by Shri Sukhdeo Prasad Baranwal when he founded Guide Publications and launched the Military Yearbook, a truly pioneering publication in the realm of defence information and analysis. From then to now, SP Guide Publications has grown like a mighty oak tree, nurtured by its Editor-in-Chief and Publisher Mr. Jayant Baranwal.
Vision of a Nationalist
It was the vision and the desire of a nationalist, journalist and author – Shri S.P. Baranwal – to render service in his own way to the armed forces, saw the birth of the Military Yearbook. His notable written works include ‘Measures of Civil Defence in India’; ‘India Faces War’; Guide Almanac and Yearbook; ‘Swatantra Bharat Ki Veergatha’; ‘Eent Ka Jawab’ and many more, all reflecting his intense nationalist leanings.
He left behind a rich legacy imbued with his integrity, principles and unflinching adherence to truth. The baton passed on to Mr. Jayant Baranwal, under whom SP Guide Publications continues to flourish. "Guide Publications" was re-christened as "SP Guide Publications" by prefixing "SP" as a tribute to the Founder. It has been a glorious journey spanning 50 years (Golden Jubilee), marked by several milestones.
Launch of Niche Magazines
At regular intervals, SP Guide Publications has not only added niche magazines to its portfolio, but also facilitated in networking the industry and the end-user through different channels, thus becoming a comprehensive domain-specific media house. The global reach of all its publications are a testimony to its growing presence and its publications are internationally audited. The magazines are driven by high quality content, thanks to its panel of editorial staff, some of whom have held high posts in the military and in the industry.
Developing on its core business, SP Guide Publications launched:
