In deference to a suggestion for free 'dhaniya' made by a Mumbai customer's mother, Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa responded swiftly and added the feature on the grocery delivery app.
Ankit Sawan recently took to Platform X to share his mother's recommendation for free 'dhaniya' . The post that tagged Dhindsa read, "Mom got a mini heart attack because she had to pay for dhaniya on Blinkit."
The user shared his mother's suggestion that the app should offer free 'dhaniya' on orders of a specific value.
"@albinder - mom is suggesting that you should bundle it for free with a certain amount of veggies," the post said.

We will polish the feature in next couple of weeks. https://t.co/jYm2hGm67a pic.twitter.com/5uiyCmSER6The complimentary 'dhaniya' and curry leaves thrown in along with the vegetables is the norm while buying from local vendors, but online shopping did not provide that option, till Blinkit upped the game.
Earlier known as 'Grofers', Blinkit was founded in 2013 and is based in Gurgaon, Delhi. It is one of the largest e-grocery companies in the nation according to its website.
Here is how people reacted to the CEO's post:
This dhaniya update is worth a billion dollar in market cap.

5% higher closing tomorrow.By far the one of the most impressive usage of Social Media ( X specifically ) and fast implementation by the company. Betting big time on Zomato & Blinkit!
