Simarprit’s Weblog

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 our respected father Sardar Har Charan Singh  ( http://HCSingh.com & @hcsingh) my spouse Harmeen Kaur ( http://Harmeen.com & @harmeen ) and our lovely daughter  Avvalprit Kaur (@avvalk).

We run a Foundation in memory of our late mother Mrs. G.K. Saberwal, Harmeen 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 launching and playing 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. (If you have heard about http://TwiHotels.com – yes it is happening)

Some of the sites/ e-businesses which Compare Infobase and its subsidiaries own are: MapsofWorld.com, MapsofIndia.com, Dgreetings.com,  HeadlinesIndia.com, IndiaHousing.com, MyDearValentine.com, BeautyTipsHub.com, DilKholKeBol.com, RealEstateZing.com and FocusSingapore.com
