I started Zomato with a spirit of service. Blinkit Ambulance is what that spirit of service looks like today.
In the last 2 years, we have served ~20,000 emergency cases (~42,000 cases in total). We haven't charged a single rupee for any of them. And we want to keep it that way.
With everything free, a growing share of bookings are for routine checkups, hospital visits and hospital-to-home transfers, trips that an Uber or private transport could have handled just as easily. Every such booking keeps a fully equipped emergency ambulance with paramedics off the road when someone's life may depend on it.
So we are making a change from now onwards: Emergency transfers – free, as always. Non-emergency transfers – ₹2,500, charged after the trip. Broadly in line with what private ambulances charge. This money goes to Eternal Foundation, which runs these ambulances and will help us scale them even further.
We hope that this charge will dramatically drop the usage of our Ambulances for non-emergency cases. 10-minute ambulances have saved and can save thousands of lives, and we need to keep them available for emergencies that need them the most.
One more thing. Scaling high quality ambulances is hard. The biggest bottleneck is trained, empathic paramedics. Our training academy is scaling as fast as we can without compromising on quality, and @albinder and team are committed to bringing Blinkit Ambulance to all major cities in India in the next 2-4 years.
Stay well, and I pray you don't need us. @sparsh_sehgal – I wish your grandma a speedy recovery, and I am so glad we were able to be there on time.
In FY2026, 31 lakh Indians chose to earn through Zomato and Blinkit as delivery partners. That’s 57% more than the previous year.
Behind every one of these numbers is a person with interests and ambitions. A student balancing classes, an entrepreneur building something of their own, a dancer pursuing their passion, and a parent juggling work and family.
We co-created this song with @ItsAmitTrivedi to celebrate our delivery partners, their many pursuits, and the journeys they’re on.
We’re proud to be a part of each and every one of them.

#TumbledryLaundry Booked pickup slot in Sector 57, Gurgaon. No one showed up. Customer support doesn't have store's contact number. The address of the store provided by Customer Support is not visible on Google Maps. Pathetic experience.

@fernsnpetals No need to check further. Deleted the app and will be shifting to @Flora_India or other alternatives rather.
If you really want to stay competitive in this space, get your fundamentals right. Plan inventory better especially for scheduled orders. And upgrade chat support!
@fernsnpetals Thanks for ruining Mother's day for me and my family. Order ID: #62172452.
Pathetic chat support offering to deliver tomorrow for an order placed in advance. Poor planning. Horrible customer experience.
@flyspicejet Had a pathetic experience today. Your staff extorted 3.9K INR as excess baggage for total weight of less than 15kgs (exactly 14kgs which includes 1 laptop bag & one cabin suitcase). I got late in boarding & they took advantage of that situation to extort money!!
@Hitachi@HitachiSysIndia Pathetic experience with Air conditioner service request. It's been 4-5 times speaking with Customer support team since the last 4 days. Still no technician arrived in Sector 57, Gurgaon.
Please help as AC is not working and needs servicing urgently.
@RapidoCares This is not mentioned anywhere and I loaded my wallet thinking that it can be used for Autos/Cabs for faster payment.
I don't travel through bikes. Please refund wallet amount to source of payment as I haven't been able to use my Rapido wallet even once due to this bottleneck.
@rapidobikeapp Can't use wallet money for Auto/cab rides? Why?
App support not responding at all on this. Disappointing customer service.
Please help on this.
