Blinkit’s Mic Drop: First Groceries, Now 10-Minute Ambulances! Remember in 2021, when everyone roasted Blinkit for delivering groceries in 10 minutes? People were like, “We don’t need groceries that fast—how about ambulances instead?” Well, guess what? Blinkit just pulled the ultimate “hold my beer” move and launched a 10-minute ambulance service. Now everyone’s either clapping in awe or furiously Googling, “Why is my grocery app running ambulances?” Let’s break it down. Blinkit Isn’t Who You Think They Are First of all, Blinkit was never just about groceries. They’ve always been about solving those “oh crap, I need this now” moments. They’re basically that friend who’s always ready to help you out in a pinch (except they bring milk, not emotional support). But here’s the real kicker: Blinkit’s model isn’t like Amazon or Flipkart. It’s actually more like Uber or Ola. • When you open Blinkit, it finds the nearest dark store (a fancy term for a mini-warehouse nearby) and shows you what’s available there. • This same tech can easily be used to locate the nearest ambulance and send it your way. So yeah, Blinkit running ambulances isn’t that crazy—it’s basically the same system they’ve already mastered, but with a siren on top. Wait, Are They Doing This for Money? Nope. If you’re thinking, “Oh, they’re doing this to make a quick buck,” think again. Running an ambulance service is not a cash cow. It’s expensive, tricky, and unlikely to make much profit. So why do it? Brand perception. Let’s be honest: while 10-minute delivery is super convenient, it’s also gotten a bad rap. • Some people think it makes us lazy, turning us into snack-hungry gremlins. • Others criticize how hard it pushes delivery partners to meet tight deadlines. With this ambulance service, Blinkit is flipping the script. They’re saying, “See? Our speed isn’t just for groceries—it can save lives too.” It’s a PR masterstroke, making them look like heroes instead of just the enablers of midnight Maggi cravings. The Critics Are Still Watching Of course, not everyone’s thrilled. Some worry this could create a “rich people get faster ambulances” situation. Others wonder if this is just a fancy stunt that might not last long. But one thing’s for sure: Blinkit has turned a sarcastic comment into a genius move that’s got everyone talking. From groceries to ambulances, Blinkit has gone from “just another delivery app” to a company with serious ambitions. Love them or hate them, you’ve got to admit—they know how to keep things interesting. What’s next, Blinkit? 10-minute___
