Quick-commerce company Blinkit is launching a 10-minute ambulance service in Gurugram, with plans to expand the service to other cities in India in the next two years, announced Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa on X on January 2.

Dhindsa said that the ambulances would have medical equipment such as oxygen cylinders, AEDs (Automated External Defibrillator), stretchers, monitors, suction machines, emergency medicines, and injections. The ambulance will come with a paramedic, an assistant, and a trained driver.

While the first five ambulances will immediately take to the roads of Gurugram, more users will be able to book a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance through the Blinkit app.
