Blinkit has launched its ambulance service in Bengaluru, bringing emergency medical transport to four areas of the city. Albinder Dhindsa, CEO of Eternal,
the parent company of Blinkit, announced that the service is now available in Domlur, Indiranagar, BTM Layout and Bommanahalli. Residents in these areas can request an ambulance directly through the Blinkit app.
The company has started operations with four ambulances stationed across two depots. The expansion comes after Blinkit introduced its ambulance service in Gurugram and gradually expanded into Delhi-NCR. The service is aimed at getting medical assistance to patients quickly, something that can make a considerable difference during emergencies, particularly in a city like Bengaluru where traffic can turn even a short trip into a long wait.
