The concept of Spenta enshrines the fundamental principle of progress and prosperity.
Spenta Multimedia was established in 1995 with the vision of tapping a hitherto unfulfilled need in the Indian publishing industry, namely, contract publishing for specialized and corporate needs. To fulfil this need, Spenta set about building resources, which would enable it to offer its clients complete publishing and printing solutions, ranging from conceptualization to editorial, design, printing, distribution, and advertisement sales.
Spenta began with a single magazine – Jetwings, the in-flight magazine of India's largest private airline, Jet Airways - a decade ago. Today Spenta is India’s leading custom publisher with a portfolio of 17 custom (contract) publications and 4 newsstand magazines with a collective print run of over 800,000 copies and a readership of over 4 million (average per month).
The growth of numbers in publishing is an outcome of the quality of content and design. Over the years, Spenta has been widely recognized for the quality of its publications, leading to several prestigious awards:
Jetwings, the Spenta published magazine for Jet Airways, was adjudged second runner-up in the in-flight magazine category at the 18th annual Avion awards, held on September 15th 2006 by the World Airline Entertainment Association (WAEA) at Miami Beach, Florida, USA.
Hello, the Spenta published magazine for Club Mahindra, recently won the silver award in the external newsletter category at the Annual Association of Business Communicators of India Awards, 2007.
Key to Spenta's success in setting new quality benchmarks in custom publishing in India has been the company's foresight in investing in its own printing facility. A state-of-the-art operation, the Spenta press has also led to a second revenue stream for Spenta, namely, designing and high-end printing of books, art catalogues, brochures and other print collateral for both corporates and individual customers.
First custom publishing. Then high-end printing. And now, Spenta is well into the process of strengthening its position by expanding into the newsstand and Web site design & development space.
