Blinkit Launches 10-Minute Passport Photo Delivery in Delhi and Gurugram

There is a new twist in the world of super-fast delivery services: passport photo delivery has been added to Blinkit, which is owned by Zomato. When it comes to paperwork, Blinkit is now offering a service that promises to bring passport-sized photos right to your door in just 10 minutes. The company is known for delivering groceries very quickly.

The CEO of Blinkit, Albinder Dhindsa, announced the new service on X (formerly Twitter) by asking, "Ever needed passport-sized photos for visas, admit cards or rental agreements at the last minute?" Blinkit customers in Delhi and Gurugram can now get passport shots delivered in 10 minutes as of today! It's a creative move meant to help a lot of people who are having trouble getting those important passport shots quickly.

This new Blinkit service could be life-changing for people who have had to rush to get passport shots at the last minute. Dhindsa explained how it works: users can share a picture they already have or use their phones to take a new one. Then, Blinkit's system takes over to automatically get rid of the background and make the picture the right size for a passport shot.

The company is starting to offer this service in Delhi and Gurugram for now, but they have bigger plans in the works. Dhindsa gave hints that the service might slowly spread to other places across the country, making it easier for more people to use this quick and easy service.

Customers can pick from different numbers of prints—eight, sixteen, or thirty-two—and they will be sent to them in a nicely sealed envelope. This level of service not only meets pressing needs, but also gives people the freedom to choose how many photos they need for different papers or purposes.

The launch of Blinkit's new delivery service is part of a larger trend where speed and ease of use are becoming more important. In a world where time is often of the key, being able to get something as important as passport photos sent almost instantly could be very helpful to many.

This move fits with Blinkit's larger plan to offer more than just grocery delivery, including other everyday needs. This will help it become even more of a full-service delivery company. By solving a common problem and using the technology they already have, Blinkit is able to reach a new market and show that it cares about making things easy for its customers.

When the service starts up, it will be interesting to see how well people like it and if Blinkit can keep its claim of 10-minute delivery despite the problems that may come up. For now, this is a new and exciting development for people in Delhi and Gurugram who need passport shots quickly.
