Memes abound on social media following Blinkit's 10-minute ambulance launch: "Coordinate with the Income Tax department for..."

On social media, Blinkit's 10-minute ambulance service in Gurugram has drawn praise and amusing comments. The service will be manned by qualified workers and will feature necessary medical equipment.

The 10-minute ambulance service that Blinkit recently introduced as a trial operation in a few locations of Gurugram is getting positive feedback. A number of social media users posted parodies about the service, but many are praising the speedy commerce behemoth for the endeavor.

A corporate statement claims that Blinkit users in Gurugram can use the services by selecting the Blinkit app's ambulance call option.

Oxygen cylinders, an automated external defibrillator (AED), a stretcher, a monitor, a suction machine, and necessary emergency medications and injections will all be included in these ambulances' inventory of life-saving supplies. In order to carry people in need safely, they will also be outfitted with a wheelchair and a scoop stretcher," it stated.

A paramedic, a duty assistant, and a qualified driver will be in each car. More locations will soon be able to access the service.

Reaction on social media to the 10-minute ambulance service provided by Blinkit
While some social media users applauded the initiative, many others immediately posted amusing and oddball responses.

In ten minutes, Blinkit will launch its ambulance service—a much-needed move. In India, ambulance rides often take 25 to 30 minutes. Today marks the arrival of the first five ambulances in Gurugram. An X user wrote, "Blinkit, please tip up with the Income Tax department for 10 minutes of income tax refunds also."

"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," remarked another social media user, who welcomed the project.

"Blinkit recently started offering ambulance services." I'm eager for them to start offering fire department services as soon as Ola scooters are added to the app [sic].
