Blinkit Marks One Year of Ambulance Service, Handles Over 4,200 Emergency Cases

A Year of Building Quick and Reliable Emergency Response

Blinkit said its dedicated ambulance service has handled over 4,200 cases in its first year, highlighting how quick-commerce capabilities can also strengthen critical medical support.

The update was shared on X by Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa, who said the service began in Gurugram with one mission — faster access to emergency assistance when “every minute counts.”

Coverage Expands Across NCR With Focus on Fast Response

Growing Fleet and Wider Reach

Since launch, the Blinkit ambulance service has:

• Responded to 1,810 time-sensitive medical emergencies

• Expanded to 25 ambulances

• Covered most of Gurugram and Manesar

• Reached select locations in Delhi including Lajpat Nagar, Malviya Nagar, Patel Nagar, Dwarka and Greater Kailash

Performance Metrics Show Strong Impact

Dhindsa shared that Blinkit ambulances reached patients within 10 minutes in 87% of cases, reinforcing the platform’s commitment to rapid intervention.

He added, "We have trained and deployed 70 paramedics from the Blinkit Academy in our ambulances," underscoring the investment made in skill development and readiness.

Training, Safety, and Responsible Expansion

Building Systems Where Decisions Matter in Seconds

Dhindsa described emergency healthcare as a sector where precision is essential and mistakes can be costly. He noted that building this service required infrastructure, capital and constant review, "especially when decisions need to be made in seconds, often with incomplete information."

Learning to Grow Carefully

Reflecting on the past year, he shared an important takeaway:
"Expanding responsibly sometimes means saying no - to moving too fast and to launching areas or cities before systems are ready."

Strategy — Grow Slow, Train Deep, Improve Continuously

Blinkit plans to expand gradually, investing heavily in paramedic training and operational systems while thanking on-ground teams for carrying the responsibility every day.
