Blinkit tests ‘ambulance in 10 mins’ service

MUMBAI: Blinkit has rolled out a 10-minute ambulance service in select areas of Gurgaon, starting Thursday.
The service is currently in the testing phase and has been launched with five ambulances. “Profit is not a goal here. We will operate this service at an affordable cost for customers and invest in really solving this critical problem for the long-term,” founder and CEO Albinder Dhindsa said. The company plans to scale up the service and expand it to all major cities in the next two years. It is not yet understood if Blinkit will tie up with hospitals to provide the service or how the model will work. As of now, the ambulances come equipped with basic medical equipment.
