Bengaluru News: A late-night medicine order on quick-commerce platform Blinkit has caught public attention after a Bengaluru-based startup founder shared an unexpected experience that went beyond fast delivery.
In a post on X, BG Mahesh said a family member ordered an over-the-counter medicine close to midnight. While quick delivery was expected, what surprised him was a call from a doctor before the medicine even arrived.
Doctor Called Before Delivery
Mahesh said the doctor asked simple but relevant questions, including the patient’s age and symptoms, to better assess the situation. He noted that the medical follow-up felt reassuring, especially given the late hour.
Praising the service, Mahesh wrote, “Well done, Blinkit. We cannot expect this kind of service anywhere else in the world.” He added that the added medical check brought an extra layer of care to an otherwise routine purchase.
Post Went Viral
The post quickly gained traction on social media, with many users sharing positive reactions. Several said instant delivery platforms have become essential for accessing medicines and other necessities during emergencies or at odd hours.
Some of the reactions included:
“True. It's one of its best features.”
