I am Simar

Left to me, one would always simmer and never boil. My Gurdwara name is Simarprit Singh, Simar stands for worship and Prit for love, Singh of-course stands for lion. These days Prit is on rest and most people know me as Simar or Simar Singh.

My family comprises of my spouse Harmeen Kaur ( http://Harmeen.com & @harmeen ) and our lovely daughter  Avvalprit Kaur (@avvalk).

We run a Foundation in memory of our late parents Mrs. G.K. Saberwal and myself keep working for Compare Infobase Limited an IT company http://www.infobase.co.in based out of Delhi, which we co-founded way back in 1998. These days I am lost more in San Jose than found in Delhi. In San Jose, Compare has established a subsidiary company MapxL Inc. MapXL is doing some pioneering work in thematic mapping – http://www.mapsofworld.com the marquee site of MapXL is becoming a destination in itself. MapXL also has a JV in San Jose Must See LLC – Must See runs http://YouMustSee.com an aspirational portal being developed by two travel enthusiasts.

I have lost the battle of bulge and seriously love eating, and reviewing what I eat and where I eat. I make a living out of search engines, I love them. I am proud of the fact that I was the visionary and the algorithm architect for a search engine, which ran but sank without a trace in this great maze of Google. My search engine was unique, very much like me and handled query very differently, probably it was too different from success perspective 😦

Harmeen (Mini) continues making DGreetings the best e-greeting card site, while I can see my role changing to strategy and a bit of sales. Harmeen is also serious about reviving Glass Painting in India and Harmeen.com is an online studio. This role gives me more time to blog, and to study, and to work towards creating another search engine. Which may again sink? If it does, I am sure it would be with lot of traces 🙂 What I am working on is a large web directory project once completed it should become a mother reference site and default option for SEOs. Check the beta, at your cost, at http://www.SubmitYourSite.com

These days I am busy with the team as we gear up to push www.MapsofIndia.com to a very different league of websites, I still play around with TwitSnaps – yes http://twitsnaps.com is founded by me and we are all working to make it a thought leader in the Twitter Photo Sharing space.

Some of the sites/ e-businesses which Compare Infobase and its subsidiaries (investments) own are: MapsofWorld.com, MapsofIndia.com, Dgreetings.com,  YouMustSee.com, HeadlinesIndia.com,  MyDearValentine.com, BeautyTipsHub.com, DilKholKeBol.com and HolidaysHub.com

Hi ,
I have been reading a bundle of blogs for quite some time now,but , the best thing which I liked about yr blog is the KISS effect ( Keep It Simple and Sweet) and a wide variety of subjects.
So keep the goody – good work happening , and , yes , I am also following yr tweets , and when @Param118 recommended twitsnaps, thats how I landed up on this site.
Almost a decade back I was partner in a B2B start up , where in I had led a team doing lot of work with IBM’s Web Sphere for buisness integration and set up a B2B web site called:steelnext.com , which is now history .
wish you all the best in yr endeavour(s),
cheers,Umesh ( @ud_iitd)
Best of luck in your endeavours

simarprit - November 21, 2009

I remember SteelNext 🙂 Thank you for taking out time and posting a comment.

Veerji, fateh. Please see http://www.youngsikhleaders.com Would like to brainstorm and get your advise. It not for profit venture. As in IIT Roorkee grad, having stayed in Singapore for 10 years I could see what is missing with the Sikh youth. Now in Mumbai, I am doing this with a couple of veers.

Hi Simar,
I tried to send you a direct message through twitter but couldn’t find a link 😦
Just a small question. Is this site http://twitpic.com similar to your website twitsnaps?

simarprit - January 23, 2010

Yes it is. TwitPic came first TwitSnaps came later – TwitPic has first mover advantage but TwitSnaps has awhole lot of features which make life simple

13. rajan - March 8, 2010

Hi Simar,

I sincerely appreciate the suggestion for SEO by you. It will really improve my knowledge as well as my career goals.

[…] Mr. Simarprit Singh : ‎"Worth" is becoming more tangible and in my view it is "no good worth" if it can be lost in one inadvertent/ or otherwise slip… times are changing […]
