This new service is currently live across 16 cities, including the big metros and tier-1 towns like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Pune, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, and more. And yes, the companies have hinted that this rollout will only expand further in the coming weeks.
So what’s on offer? You can grab a brand-new prepaid or postpaid Airtel connection, or switch your current number to Airtel via MNP—all from the comfort of your home. Even better, the SIM activation process is now completely digital. Just scan your Aadhaar and complete a quick self-verification—no paperwork, no store visits, no hassle.
Albinder Dhindsa, Blinkit’s founder and CEO, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the collaboration. “Starting today, customers can get a SIM delivered and activated without stepping out. Blinkit handles the delivery; Airtel’s made activation simple and fast with self-KYC,” he shared.
Once your SIM arrives, you’ll have a 15-day window to activate it through Airtel’s video-based guidance and Aadhaar KYC flow. And if you run into any trouble, the Airtel Thanks App is just a tap away for support.
What They’re Saying
“This is all about convenience and time-saving,” said Siddharth Sharma, CEO – Connected Homes and Director of Marketing at Airtel. “Partnering with Blinkit allows us to meet customers exactly where they are—at home—and we’re looking forward to scaling this to even more cities soon.”
