New Year’s excitement is at its peak. On New Year’s Eve, people make many plans to celebrate – some party with friends, others spend time with family or go on vacations. 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 towards pushing the boundaries of prompt delivery services.
“Starting post NYE this year from one of our stores (in Nirvana Country, Gurugram),” Dhindsa wrote on X. In the photo he has shared, he can be seen wearing a bright yellow delivery agent’s jacket.

His subsequent post revealed that he had picked up and packed an order, writing, “Going to pick up and pack an order, let’s see how long it takes me.” Subsequently, he shared another post saying, “Done. Took me 2 minutes and 57 seconds to pick up and pack. Very slow. The average pickup time at this store is 1 minute and 46 seconds ( Sorry for the delay and Happy New Year) whoever this was ordered for).” Dhindsa also shared an update on his next Blinkit delivery, writing, “Just picked up an order consisting of a mini air hockey table and a few other items! Will be delivering that as well.”
