Social media reacts with memes, jokes and warnings to Blinkit 10-minute ambulance service

Several social media users hailed the initiative, whereas many others quickly shared quirky and hilarious reactions.

“Blinkit Launches Ambulance service in 10 minutes—a much-needed step. The average time for ambulances in India is 25-30 minutes. The first 5 ambulances in Gurugram are starting today. Blinkit, please tip up with the Income Tax department for 10 minutes of income tax refunds also,” shared an X user in his post.

Another social media user praised the initiative and said, “Exactly, what Blinkit is doing is commendable, but we should also ask why the government isn't able to provide a basic, reliable ambulance service across India.”

“Blinkit just launched ambulance service Can’t wait for them to launch fire brigade service also as soon as Ola scooters get listed on the app [sic].”

“What a genius move by Zomato’s Blinkit! First, they deliver junk food and chips, and sooner or later, you’ll need hospitalization—hence the ambulance! [sic].”
