Blinkit, a quick-commerce platform known for fast grocery deliveries, announced last week that it was branching out into emergency healthcare with a 10-minute ambulance service, sparking a discussion in India over its implications for workers and users alike.
Chief executive Albinder Dhindsa said the idea is to provide an affordable ambulance service, starting with five vehicles in Gurugram, a satellite city to the west of Delhi, and expanding across India over the next two years.
