Blinkit launches 10-minute ambulance service in Gurgaon

“Ambulance in 10 minutes. We are taking our first step towards solving the problem of providing quick and reliable ambulance service in our cities. The first five ambulances will be on the road in Gurugram starting today. As we expand the service to more areas, you will start seeing an option to book a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance through the @letsblinkit app,” Dhinsa posted on X.

Underlining that the facility was not launched with profit as a goal, Dhinsa said the aim was to expand to all major cities in the next two years.

“Our ambulances are equipped with essential life-saving equipment, including oxygen cylinders, AED (Automated External Defibrillator), stretcher, monitor, suction machine, and essential emergency medicines and injections,” he posted.

Each ambulance will have a paramedic, an assistant and a trained driver, he added.

“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. We are carefully scaling this service up, as it is both important and new to us. Our aim is to expand to all major cities over the next two years. Let’s do our bit and make way for an ambulance always. You never know when you may save a life,” the post said.

The post also included a photo of the introductory announcement, where the price was mentioned as Rs 2,000, along with the message that neonatal or ventilator care is not supported.
