Blinkit

Blinkit, originally launched as Grofers in 2013 by Albinder Dhindsa and Saurabh Kumar, began as a hyperlocal grocery delivery service connecting local stores to customers. In 2021, it rebranded as Blinkit to reflect its new focus on ultra-fast deliveries—often within 10 to 20 minutes—covering groceries, daily essentials, and household items.

The company operates a dense network of dark stores (micro-warehouses) strategically located to enable rapid fulfilment across major Indian cities. Acquired by Zomato in 2022, Blinkit has since expanded its product range beyond groceries to include electronics, stationery, and personal care items, becoming one of India’s leading players in the quick commerce space.
