Blinkit, a popular delivery platform, has launched a 10-minute ambulance service in Gurugram to respond to medical emergencies more effectively. The pilot program currently includes five ambulances stationed strategically across the city, with each ride costing Rs 2,000.
Albinder Dhindsa, CEO of Blinkit, shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting that the initiative is focused on serving the community rather than generating profit.

“Our goal is to provide fast and dependable ambulance services in growing urban areas,” Dhindsa explained.
