Blinkit tests ‘ambulance in 10 mins’ service

MUMBAI: Blinkit has rolled out a 10-minute ambulance service in select areas of Gurgaon, starting Thursday.
The service is currently in the testing phase and has been launched with five ambulances. “Profit is not a goal here. We will operate this service at an affordable cost for customers and invest in really solving this critical problem for the long-term,” founder and CEO
