Sharing the experience online, Mahesh wrote, “A family member had to order a medicine (over-the-counter) from Blinkit at midnight. Even before we received the medicine, a doctor called to ask how old the patient was, what symptoms the patient had, etc. Well done Blinkit. We cannot expect this kind of service anywhere else in the world.”
