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.

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!
