A Bengaluru based CEO has praised Blinkit after a late night medicine order turned into an unexpectedly reassuring experience. Taking to X, the man identified as BG Mahesh shared how a family member placed an over the counter medicine order on Blinkit around midnight. What surprised him was not just the speed of delivery, but the additional medical follow up that came even before the medicine arrived.
Sharing the experience online, Mahesh wrote, “A family member had to order a medicine (over-the-counter) from Blinkit at midnight.
