Founded in 1979 with the launch of Indian Printer and Publisher monthly, the IPP Group became India’s first privately owned B2B media, knowledge, and training company in the print, publishing, and packaging verticals. A hands‑on, tech‑ and business‑savvy publication, it expanded to the web in 2000 and built a strong community through training programs, technology forums, user conferences, and the Indian Print Export Forum.
In 2001, the industry research company IPPStar was established, further strengthening the group’s knowledge base. The portfolio grew with the launch of Packaging South Asia in 2007, IndiFoodBev in 2019, and its dedicated web portal in 2020. Earlier, in 2013, the group partnered with Idealliance US under the banner of Idealliance India, bringing global best practices and color standardization training to the region.
