BENGALURU NEWS: WOMAN TURNS BLINKIT DELIVERY AGENT FOR A DAY: HERE’S WHAT
HAPPENED NEXT
* A BENGALURU WOMAN'S VIRAL POST DETAILED HER EXPERIENCE AS A BLINKIT DELIVERY
AGENT FOR A DAY, EARNING PRAISE AND ATTENTION FROM NETIZENS, CEO AND CTO.
Written By Karishma Pranav Bhavsar
Updated9 Aug 2024, 03:15 PM IST
Blinkit delivery agent
A Bengaluru woman's social media post went viral as she shared her detailed
experience as a Blinkit delivery agent for a day. In her post, she mentioned
that she took this initiative as she wanted to understand how Blinkit’s whole
system works. Not just this, her post also grabbed the attention of CEO Albinder
Dhindsa and Blinkit's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Sajal Gupta.

up…’
In a series of thread, Sneha, who became a Blinkit delivery partner made several
deliveries in Indiranagar. Though she found the experience rewarding, earned
some money and learned about the delivery process, she has also suggested the
platform's product team to revisit their app to make some improvements.

She wrote, “Signed up to be a Blinkit delivery partner and delivered few orders
around indiranagar today. and damn it was amazing. earned some money, talked to
few riders. got to know how the whole system works. but blinkit product team ig
it's high time for you revisit the app.”

In her post, she also highlighted about the false information about earings she
received on SMS. She said, “This whole message is too gimmicky can you please
don't give hope or false information to the riders. After I delivered few orders
I just know how hard it is to earn 50000 and yes where is my bonus 2K didn't see
how to get it or any term and conditions.”

She pointed out the lack of proper seating areas and drinking water facilities
for riders.

NETIZENS REACT ON THE VIRAL POST
Her post went viral on X and garnered over 1 million views. Users praised her
for her detailed insights.
One user wrote, “Nice job. working with Zomato on sunday is quite beneficial. I
earned 2300 the last time I worked.”
Another added, “Damn!!!! This is so good observation. Curious what made you try
this in the first place? And now I want to try out the Zepto thing to compare
the same”
“Thanks for sharing a constructive approach in the thread”
“Good insights. I also tried to register as a delivery partner but it was asking
for 1200 which is 300 more than of you. How does this cost is calculated.”
“Well done on showing out the process. Also, as you rightly said earning
50k/month at the beginning itself gives kinda a false hope. I hope people are
able to earn this much, but it all depends on the frequency of the deliveries
and so many other factors,” some other user wrote.
One user said, “This is op. Going through entire life cycle of the delivery
partner..insane”
“This level of curiosity and commitment to that curiosity. And she did so
without much explanations into why she did it thereby not condescending upon the
real deliverers. So Classy.”
“A weekend spent for a cause. so proud of you”
VIRAT TWEET GRABS CEO'S AND CTO'S ATTENTION
CEO Albinder Dhindsa thanked Sneha for the feedback and wrote, “Good points
here. We will pick these up, fix and report back soon.” CTO Sajal Gupta
appreciated her input and also added that after her feedback “they have made
improvements to the onboarding experience.”
Listing out five changes, Gupta wrote, “Our illustrations on the app are now
inclusive. We will keep working to make ground reality also the same." He also
added, “The seating area has been upgraded. We will make this the standard
across stores.”
