Team-BHP quoted in today's Hindu newspaper; article on discontinued cars

Spotted this in todays Hindu supplement

Quote:
It’s a bit of a catch-22 situation: should you drive on and take the depreciation as it comes, or should you sell pronto?

Stuck with a discontinued car model and clueless on what to do with it? Fret not. We brought in the car experts to weigh in on how to deal with a discontinued model. Base your decision on these factors…

Examine why the model was discontinued

Each year, a few car models are discontinued for various reasons and it’s important to understand why a particular car was stopped before choosing to buy/keep/sell that model. “The most common reason is product lifecycle. Most cars follow a 5-to-7-year lifecycle, after which an all-new model replaces it,” says Rush Parekh, Founder of Team-BHP.com. For example, Chevrolet Blazer, which was replaced with the far more modern Chevrolet Trailblazer in the early 2000s.

re: Team-BHP quoted in today's Hindu newspaper; article on discontinued cars

Happened to glance through this article today morning and noticed that it went something like this- "...., says Rush."
And I thought to myself how many Rushes can there be in the automotive world?
So I went back and read the full article and sure enough it was GTO and Team-BHP!

Nice helpful article too.

Great . Have a question though , do they have to take permission (from GTO) before quoting like that on a newspaper or can they pull-it off our website and quote it on theirs?

For such articles, the journalist approaches me with a specific set of questions. If I can add value to it, I reply back with detailed answers (in typical Team-BHP style). I help out wherever I can. However, if someone approaches me for a comment on the motorcycle market, I politely decline due to lack of expertise in 2-wheelers. But anything on cars is always .

Thank you GTO.
The part in bold, modesty at its best.
