Basic Information
Blinkit (erstwhile Grofers) is leading the charge in transforming India’s vast, unorganised grocery landscape through cutting-edge technology and innovation. It believes that every Indian deserves the opportunity to continually improve their life – a process that often begins at home. As part of its mission of helping consumers make healthier, better choices when buying everyday products, Blinkit makes a wide range of high-quality grocery and household products accessible, affordable, and available right at their doorsteps. Built on a proprietary technology stack, the Blinkit platform serves as a convergence of consumers looking for everyday essentials, partner stores who serve their needs efficiently, and manufacturers looking for a channel to reach a nation of consumers. Blinkit's technology is ready and poised to serve the next 100+ million Indians who are yet to start shopping online. It believes that the ecosystem it powers can transform the lives of a billion Indians significantly over the coming decade.
