Thanks @searchkashmir for making this beautiful movie Batt Koch with a unique blend of comedy, nostalgia and emotions. My parents watched it with me at Gurgaon PVR and found it really touching. Ahie from a fellow KP! @tikurohit

Thank you all for watching

More power to you @letsblinkit!! Being a recent beneficiary of this service in Gurgaon, amazed at the response. Within 7 minutes, calm, well trained and most importantly, empathetic Paramedics, gave urgent critical care to our patient before moving him to the nearest hospital. 🙏

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 💛

Heartbreaking! May God give the victims' family the strength to bear this devastating loss. Its unimaginable what the victims must have gone through in this terrible inferno. Om Shanti 🙏

Did you know Delhi’s winter pollution isn’t caused by Diwali fireworks, but by agricultural laws that changed how farmers grow rice? 🌾

Few know that the Punjab and Haryana Preservation of Subsoil Water Acts (2009) are major reasons behind the smog choking Delhi every winter. ☁️

Curious how? Dive into this short #Thread. 🔍

@Uber_India. Waited for 1 5 hours at the Delhi T3 arrival pick up for a Premier ride. Even Uber Black and XL not available. Huge queues. Unbelievable! So many international passengers trying to figure out this new and shining India. Feel so embarrassed.

Today, I witnessed the pruning of trees across many areas of #Gurgaon. Result - huge branches and foliage now on the roads, streets and already non-existent footpaths. I was stuck in traffic because the road was blocked by this green trash. Total mindlessness!! @MunCorpGurugram

[Deepa Tiku @DeepaTIku]

Today, a friend asked for advice on a potentially exciting professional opportunity, which also means moving out of Bangalore. BUT guess the BIIIG dilemma? It's in #GURGAON. Fear - polluted air, broken roads, no sanitation, no drainage. Sadly, couldn't assure her @MunCorpGurugram

You have to credit the @DC_Gurugram : as soon as it rains and floods, he tells us it has rained and flooded. Such post facto information is so heartwarming and endearing.

He also tells us to take a holiday the following day. When will they make such great men again? When?

[SUHEL SETH @Suhelseth]

On a serious note: Gurugram is done. Like you can’t imagine. The first bloke to ruin this was @mlkhattar and @NayabSainiBJP just can’t manage this situation. The @BJP4India needs some serious introspection. They’ve been running this state for 11 years now. You can’t blame Nehru.

[Dr. Leena Dhankhar @leenadhankhar]

Gurugram decays before our eyes: garbage festers by the Sector 5 police station, blending with stagnant #water and neglect. Residents suffer #stench, disease, snarls—and no relief. A police station, yet no sanitation relief for residents. How long will civic apathy be a #crime?

Privileged to interact with the @cgpdtm_india @PiyushGoyal @DPIITGoI @JitinPrasada at the inauguration of the new impressive building of the #indian Intellectual Property Office, New Delhi. #India has come a long way in #IP and with the Govts efforts, is sure to get even better.

[Deepa Tiku @DeepaTIku]

A year ago! Things have gotten even worse than ever. This independence day, lets remind ourselves what true freedom means to each of us. Lets all take care of Dharti maa, and her children. Lets all do our jobs well and with honesty and sincerity! Isn't that what our Dharma is? 🇮🇳

[Deepa Tiku @DeepaTIku]

I appeal to the winning party in Haryana, please make Gurgaon a better city to live in. Broken roads, garbage, trash, no pavements to walk, no cycling lanes, pedestrian horrors, unregulated food kiosks, mismanaged traffic, rain unfriendliness, and the list goes on. Please!

[Deepa Tiku @DeepaTIku]

@TheSanjivKapoor @MunCorpGurugram @OfficialGMDA @DC_Gurugram Exactly!

[Sanjiv Kapoor @TheSanjivKapoor]

A Gurgaon Sector 31 street, what it is and what it could be if we put our minds to it. How about some before and selfies here, @MunCorpGurugram @DC_Gurugram @OfficialGMDA @NayabSainiBJP, @mlkhattar? Exact location again shown below. @PMOIndia
