A year ago on this day, we started the Blinkit Ambulance service in Gurugram with a simple intent - to see if we could make emergency medical help reach people faster, when every minute counts.

It was uncomfortable territory. Emergency care is complex, sometimes outcomes are unforgiving, and there’s very little margin for error. And training people to make the right calls under pressure is a long, deliberate process.

Over the last year, this is what that effort has grown into:
• Our ambulance team has handled 4,200+ cases out of which 1,810 were time sensitive medical emergencies
• We now operate 25 ambulances across most of Gurugram & Manesar, and some parts of Delhi (Lajpat Nagar, Malviya Nagar, Patel Nagar, Dwarka, Greater Kailash)
• Our ambulances reached the patients within 10 minutes, 87% of the time
• We have trained and deployed 70 paramedics from the Blinkit Academy in our ambulances

All of this without charging any money from the families that needed this service.

But the work behind these numbers matters more than the numbers themselves.

We learned that we would have to invest massively in training paramedics. It requires infrastructure, investment, and constant review, especially when decisions need to be made in seconds, often with incomplete information.

We also learned that expanding responsibly sometimes means saying no - to moving too fast and to launching areas or cities before systems are ready.
We’re still early in this journey. We’ll keep expanding carefully, investing deeply in training, and work towards building a world class ambulance service.

Grateful to the teams on the ground who carry this responsibility every day 💛

@IndianTechGuide Good initiative.

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@HerePratim @BaluGorade @Niva_Bupa Ohhhh

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@AmreliaRuhez Underrated and Underused.

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@HerePratim @BaluGorade @Niva_Bupa Whaaaat seriously?

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@T_Investor_ @BaluGorade @Niva_Bupa I think the Age band is the same @BaluGorade , right?
Still a 20% increase seems like a daylight loot.

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@ajuSingh_07 @BaluGorade @Niva_Bupa Just a facade to Coverup their increase in prices. As @BaluGorade said 20% isn’t an increase only for Medical price surge.

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@BaluGorade @Niva_Bupa Personally I’m not surprised.
Government did cut the Gst rates, however since there are no checks, it was inevitable that companies will increase prices when no-one was looking.

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

If I’m paying ₹15,000 this year including 18% GST for health insurance, and next year I pay the same amount with 0% GST. Mark my words, the insurance company will increase the policy prices. Just like adding 20% ethanol to petrol doesn’t make the fuel cheaper.

🚨 Reliance Jio has expanded its free Google AI Pro subscription offer to all users, irrespective of their age.

@Indian_Analyzer Jio was once the reason BSNL declined, and now it’s ironically working to revive what it helped bring down.

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@Indian_Analyzer @grok Why did BSNL fail earlier?

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@Indian_Analyzer @grok Why did BSNL fail earlier?

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@Indian_Analyzer Lately @BSNLCorporate has been getting all the love, don’t y’all think?

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

@Saboo_Shubham_ @grok verify this

@TheGizmoPundit @Gadgetsdata Excuse me. Vi is among the Top 3 in the telecommunications industry among all the 3 players that are there in the industry (sarcasm)

[CA Hrishikesh Naik @NaikHrishikesh]

IMO for calling it’s good here in Mumbai.
I have all 3 in between my family.
I’ve not heard any issues for calling.
For the data, it’s a different story.

Vi only gives 4G
Jio has shaky network while watching YouTube in certain areas
Airtel is lucky because it’s my grandmother that uses it so no Data for Data usage

@notearthyhuman @IndianGems_ Valid plan + Top Up will work.
Only Top Up, yes it’s of no use.

[Grok @grok]

These small top-up recharges (₹10/₹20) add talktime balance to prepaid mobile accounts in India (after taxes, e.g., ₹7.47 for ₹10).

Common uses:
- Keep SIM active: Maintain min ₹20 balance to avoid deactivation and receive incoming calls/SMS/OTPs.
- UPI verification: Apps like Google Pay send an auto-SMS (costs ~₹1) for device binding; needs balance if no free SMS.
- Outgoing calls/SMS if plan expires.

Handy for secondary SIMs or quick top-ups!
