SP's (SP Guide Publications) was founded way back in 1964 by Shri S P Baranwal, the Founder Publisher and the Founder Editor in the service of our motherland. His vision and devotion still stand as a luminous beacon guiding the ethos of the company.

Shri Sukhdeo Prasad Baranwal's founding ideals—to educate and engage the Indian citizens with reliable, incisive information about the country's armed forces—laid the cornerstone of this institution. Under the dynamic leadership of Jayant Baranwal, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, the legacy flourished into SP Guide Publications, now acclaimed not only in India but across Asia and globally, for its authoritative voice on matters of national defence, military strategy, civil aviation, and space.

SP's has remained steadfast in its pursuit of truth, accuracy, and national pride. From humble beginnings, SP's has grown into Asia's most influential aerospace and defence media house, with a portfolio of nine leading titles. These include defence and aviation periodicals and two annual reference volumes. SP's Military Yearbook, the flagship publication, debuted in 1965 and earned international recognition. This global presence was strengthened with later additions: SP's Aviation (1998), SP's Land Forces (2004), SP's Naval Forces (2006), SP's ShowNews (2006), SP's AirBuz (2008), SP's MAI (2011), BizAvIndia (2015), and SP's Civil Aviation Yearbook (2018). With its insightful analysis and expert commentary, these titles continue to lead the sector. Over the years, each new title has added lustre to our portfolio, capturing critical milestones, breakthroughs, and narratives that shape the defence and aviation landscape.

With its heart rooted in patriotism and its eyes set on excellence, SP's pioneered a genre of journalism that brought defence, aerospace, and strategic affairs into the national consciousness with unmatched clarity and commitment. But our role extends beyond publishing. SP Guide Publications is also a creative force, offering premium graphic design and world-class print production. With a deep sense of responsibility, we have continuously supported and promoted landmark exhibitions, shows, and defence-related events across the globe—serving as India's eloquent voice in international forums.

For over six decades, SP's has been more than a chronicler; it has been a custodian of national pride, a contributor to informed citizenship, and a relentless advocate for India's strategic vision. Throughout the journey our objective has been to represent our country in the most positive light in front of the entire globe/ entire world. We remain devoted to this sacred pursuit—of serving the sector, empowering society, and celebrating our great nation with every word we print.
