One of the most recent incidents about Blinkit, one of the popular grocery delivery services, has made so many hearts touch this story as to how small good deeds make a lot of difference in life. One alumnus from IIT Bombay shared his heartwarming experience with how the company made extra efforts to put his order on top from a hospital to make his day.
Help in Troubled Times
The customer appreciated Blinkit’s empathetic attitude after sharing his story on X (formerly Twitter). “My heart goes out to the person who thought of optimising for this, thanks Blinkit,” he said. Along with that, he posted a screenshot of his order, showing the message from Blinkit that read, “We‘ve prioritised your order. We noticed your order is from a hospital. Sending you and your dear ones our warmest wishes.
This gesture, by the company led by Albinder Dhindsa, ensured not only speedy delivery but also conveyed heartfelt best wishes to the customer and his family.
Social Media Applauds Blinkit
The act of kindness received much appreciation on social media. A user shared a similar experience, saying, “I ordered from a hospital today and asked the delivery person to deliver it to our room. He did so without hesitation. Thank you for your empathy.” Another said, “Small features like these build immense customer loyalty. Blinkit‘s thoughtful print feature is another great example.”

Several users admired Blinkit‘s humane design. “High time to thank teams that come up with such ideas,” one of the commenters wrote. Another added, “The world‘s at its best when people care about people.
A Legacy of Empathy
Interestingly, some noted that this feature may have roots in Zomato, which introduced similar functionalities during the COVID-19 pandemic to assist individuals in hospitals or isolation. The legacy now continues under Blinkit, demonstrating the company’s commitment to thoughtful and compassionate service.
Since the post’s publication, it has garnered over 300,000 views, reflecting the resonance of Blinkit’s gesture with audiences. This simple yet powerful act underscores the importance of empathy in business, creating a ripple effect of positivity and gratitude.
