Imagine ordering something and getting it faster than you can finish making a cup of tea. That’s Blinkit for you. You place an order, blink, and it’s almost at your door. Don’t even think about scrolling through Instagram; your delivery might already be waiting outside. Blinkit is famous for making sure no craving or last-minute item is ever more than eight minutes away.
Recently, a man in the UAE shared on X that he received a PlayStation 5 just 23 minutes after ordering it online, which is also pretty impressive.
the UAE is unmatched.

User @IrffanAsiff couldn’t help but repost this with a little cheeky caption: “Who is gonna tell him”, along with a screenshot of Blinkit’s record-breaking eight-minute service in India.

The comparison instantly caught everyone’s attention, sparking a playful debate on X. While many were amazed by the price at which a PS5 was being sold in UAE, which was way cheaper than in India, Indians couldn’t resist bragging a bit about our delivery service’s superfast reputation.
Man, the moment I step out of the country, I miss UPI and Blinkit
Grab is kinda close, but not really

You can complete one game before his ps5 even arrives. India is not for beginners 👋

It’s ironic that blinkit has been delivering Ps5 for a long time now. Wait till they find about iPhone !

Once I got stuff delivered within 6 minutes. It’s truly baffling how they do it.😂

India is pretty much the pioneer of quick commerce. Don’t think it even exists anywhere else. Even Amazon dismissed it off and couldn’t see the market for it when they saw Zepto, Blinkit doing it. In the next 5 years this will be a case study in every prestigious business school.

In the race for delivery records, it seems like Blinkit’s got a clear lead.
