Sahoo shared a screenshot demonstrating how the company prioritises orders placed from hospitals, accompanied by a compassionate message: “We have noticed your order is from a hospital. Sending you and your dear ones our warm wishes.”

In his post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Sahoo expressed heartfelt appreciation for the team behind this customer-centric feature. He wrote, “My heart goes out to the person who has thought of optimising for this, thanks Blinkit.”
The innovation reflects the evolving role of delivery services in modern urban life, where people increasingly rely on such platforms not only from homes but also workplaces, hotels, and healthcare facilities. The post sparked a wave of positive responses.
A number of users shared their personal experiences. A medical professional recounted ordering items whilst at a hospital. He praised the delivery person’s empathetic approach: “I was sceptical that he might give reasons like no parking. But, he delivered it to our room without any questions. Thank you people for your empathy.”
This Is How Netizens Responded To The Post Online
Definitely a Nobel step.
I ordered some stuff from hospital today through Blinkit and called the delivery person to ask him to deliver to our room. I was skeptical that he might give reasons like no parking.
But, he delivered it to our room without any questions. Thank you…— Dr. Bhumica Agarwal (@imahappysoul12) December 30, 2024
Other users commended the initiative as a “Noble step” and an exemplary case of “humane design.” The feature was lauded as a prime example of how technological solutions can be enhanced with compassion and understanding of human circumstances.
These small small features create great customer loyalty for Blinkit.
Their print feature is also a saviour!

Companies are increasingly recognising the need to adapt their operations to various contexts and human situations. As one user aptly summarised, “The world’s at its best when people care about people.” This approach demonstrates how digital services can maintain efficiency whilst incorporating empathy and understanding into their operations.
This is high quality work.
