Bajaj's Four-Wheeled RE60 Review by Sachin Karpe


Bajaj Auto is marketing the RE60 as a more stable and comfortable alternative to the three-wheeled autorickshaws ever present on India's roads even though it looks like a small hatchback car and is expected to cost less says our automobile expert Sachin Karpe. Weight, top speed and other specifications, including safety standards, mean the RE60 will not be classified as a car. The RE60 is part of a long-term expansion strategy by Bajaj to boost sales growth at home and abroad. The RE60 weighs 400 kilograms (880 pounds), about 100 kg more than Bajaj's smallest autorickshaw and half as much as a small hatchback. The engine, which can run on gasoline or compressed natural gas, goes up to 70 kilometres per hour (about 40 miles per hour). The vehicle is likely to be priced between an autorickshaw and a small car.

Sachin Karpe Shares Some of the Best Ways to Approach HR Recruiters



As a career coach who knows the ins and outs of how recruiters work, the first thing you should do before deciding on your plan of action is to ensure your resume is as tailored as possible to the job you want says Sachin Karpe. One must not reach out to the recruiter with a resume that looks unrelated to the position being applied for. To make your outreach easier, it’s best to see if you have any connections in common, either online on LinkedIn or offline through someone you know who works at the company. If, for some reason, the recruiter is either not on LinkedIn or is a third-degree connection who you’re unable to reach, search through your online and offline network to see who you know that either currently works or used to work at the same company as the recruiter. Similar to online, the goal is to find a connection that you can leverage to help make the introduction.
