In the commended list for the last two editions – 2010 and 2011, Spenta Multimedia has emerged triumphant in this edition. Thanks to the production that the judges said was simply “super”, with high-quality print used across the four submissions: Adorn, Domus, India Boating and Marwar.

According to judges, the prints provided the consistency throughout with interesting cover designs and photography provided by Spenta. The designs were produced in-house. This meant the typography was well used and with purpose. “The design and print of the inside text delivers the promise the cover designs display,” said one judge.

With a stable of 40-plus titles, Spenta’s Manek Davar and Minoo Davar still nourish ambitions to grow. Maneck Davar states, “We do everything”. And so, the group creates the content, sells ad space, and prints and distributes more than 40 custom magazines, some of which are JetWings, The Chartered Accountant Journal, Apparel, Solitaire, First Update, Imperia, @TCS, Priority Pages, Milestones, Shubh Labh, and a newsletter for Bombay Gymkhana.

In the consumer segment, besides the four submission, Spenta has magazines such as Hair, The Smart Manager, and Liquid among others.

The four entry magazines were printed on Heidelberg SM 102 and Heidelberg SM 74, both four-colour machines.

Besides the Heidelberg SM 102 and SM 74, Spenta’s press equipment includes a Heidelberg SM-102 eight-colour, Heidelberg SM-102 two-colour, and a Screen CTP system. Binding has a Muller Martini Acoro A5 automated perfect binding machine, three Stahl folding machines, pinning, punching and foiling, lamination and shrink wrapping machinery.

Spenta is a Zoroastrian word and means “the fount of everything that’s good”. This is Manek Davar’s philosophy too.
