SP’s M.A.I to capture essence of security market

The Military, Aerospace and Internal (M.A.I) security market in India is difficult to quantify, considering the pace at which the country is adopting security systems and solutions. A study by KPMG has hazarded a guess that by 2020 that India will be one of the largest players in the global homeland security market, outpacing the US. About six per cent of the global procurement in homeland security will be from India, up from the present 3.6 per cent.

The opportunity is here… here in India.

In this background, SP Guide Publications, an established publishing house since 1964, has launched a fortnightly publication titled “SP’s M.A.I” at Aero India 2011 on February 9.

The fortnightly provides latest news; market insight; technology updates; and policy initiatives from the realm of homeland security. Written by experts, SP’s M.A.I will help key-decision makers to stay abreast of industry developments.

SP’s M.A.I is presented in a quick-read format – short articles; crisp interviews, brief news; and clearly defined sections such as Military; Aerospace: Internal security, including cybersecurity.
