New Delhi. Quick commerce platform Blinkit has started a new initiative on the new year. In fact, Zomato’s quick commerce unit Blinkit has started ambulance service in ten minutes.
Blinkit’s co-founder and CEO Albinder Dhindsa launched it on Thursday (January 2) in Gurugram, adjacent to Delhi. Currently, 5 ambulances are included in this service. Blinkit’s ambulance service will reach the patients within just 10 minutes.

Our goal is to expand this service carefully and make it available in all major cities in the next 2 years.
