The excitement of the new year is in full swing. On New Year's Eve, people had various plans to celebrate - some partied with friends, others spent time with family or went on vacation. However, Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa had a unique plan: to become a delivery agent! On the occasion of New Year's Eve, he set up camp at the Gurugram Blinkit store to pack and deliver orders for his 10-minute delivery service. His hands-on approach not only demonstrated his commitment to customer satisfaction but also highlighted his dedication to pushing the boundaries of instant delivery services.
Taking to X, Dhindsa wrote, "Starting the NYE posts this year from one of our stores (in Nirvana Country, Gurugram)." In the photo he shared, he can be seen wearing a bright yellow delivery agent's jacket.

His subsequent post revealed that he had picked and packed an order, writing, "Going to pick and pack an order, let's see how much time it takes me." Following that, he shared another post saying, "Done. It took me 2 minutes and 57 seconds to pick and pack. Too slow. The average picking time at this store is 1 minute and 46 seconds (sorry for the delay and happy new year to whoever's order this was)." Dhindsa also shared an update on his next Blinkit delivery, noting, "Just picked an order which has a mini air hockey table and a couple of other items! Will be delivering this one as well."

In addition to taking on the role of a Blinkit delivery agent, Albinder Dhindsa announced the launch of a new fleet of electric vehicles designed for handling large orders, particularly for electronics and party supplies. He shared that these vehicles are currently operational in Delhi and Gurugram, with plans to expand to other cities soon.
