Hey, any Blinkit employees here who can tell us how the company is going to handle the crisis at hand?? With so many dark stores closing and 2500+ delivery partners on strike??
Dark stores are not closing. Temporary disruption was there because of the strike.
As of today, most of the stores are back online. The rate card change is supposed to help the honest riders earn more and penalize the ones who were trying to game the system.
I donโt think I can share more details but all in all, itโs good for the riders. The strike is due to a few bad actors who were suspended due to their attempts in abusing the system.
The hyperlocal game is long term game. Even zepto is closing stores in no peak demand areas. As they close stores there will be more riders available to serve order. So basic demand supply, supply goes up price come down. Hence delivery partner fees got decreased but the cost of doing delivery became unsustainable from rider point of view.
Yo, blinkit is back online
What is the unit economics of blinkit?
How important is Blinkit to Zomato? How long will the 10 min delivery burn games go on for?
Any insider POVs?
Are any folks around here from Blinkit ? How is the company doing? Will it survive in the long run?

I have been sceptic about this model but Blinkit brand is so strong that even my own relatives didnโt believe me. All media do PR on Blinkit and we can suffer cus we actually put in money on that hype. This post makes my point
