Get Ambulance In 10 Minutes, Thanks To Blinkit’s New Service
From groceries to document printouts, Blinkit has made life a lot easier for us. And to make it even better, they have now added the ‘Blinkit Ambulance’ service on the platform. The company’s CEO, Albinder Dhindsa, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce this new 10-minute delivery service for the residents of Gurgaon.
Calling it the “first step towards solving the problem of providing quick and reliable ambulance service” in the cities, Albinder announced that the company had launched the first five ambulances in Gurugram on January 2. Gurgaon folks can see an option to book a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance through the app. Once you confirm a booking, you will have to pay a charge of ₹2,000, and the ambulance services will arrive at your doorstep in just 10 minutes.
All You Need To Know About This New Service
In the tweet, Albinder Dhindsa explained some of the features of Blinkit Ambulance. For starters, all the ambulances are equipped with essential life-saving equipment. This includes oxygen cylinders, an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), a stretcher, a monitor, a suction machine, and essential emergency medicines and injections. Also, every ambulance has a paramedic, an assistant, and a trained driver to ensure high-quality service.
He even mentioned that Blinkit does not wish to make a profit with this ambulance service. The service will operate at an “affordable cost for customers and invest in really solving this critical problem for the long term.” While the company aims to expand to all major cities, it plans to scale up carefully. They will observe how the service works in Gurgaon and gradually expand to other cities over the next two years.
