Blinkit now delivers Apple gadgets in 10 minutes across major cities
MUMBAI: Forget waiting in line at an Apple Store or scrolling endlessly for next-day deliveries—Blinkit has just redefined the meaning of ‘instant tech’. The quick-commerce giant is now delivering Apple products—including MacBook Air, iPad, AirPods, and Apple Watch—in just 10 minutes across multiple Indian cities.
Gone are the days when instant delivery meant just groceries and snacks. Blinkit is putting high-end Apple gadgets on the express lane, bringing premium tech to doorsteps in record time. This service is now available in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Chennai, Jaipur, Bengaluru, and Kolkata.
Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa shared his excitement about the launch on Linkedin stating, “You can now get MacBook Air, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch, and other Apple accessories delivered in 10 minutes!”
This move is a game-changer for the e-commerce space, proving that even high-value, premium electronics are no longer bound by traditional logistics. While others still struggle with same-day delivery, Blinkit has once again disrupted the market by making high-speed Apple deliveries a reality.
The launch underscores Blinkit’s ambition to be the go-to platform for everything—from groceries to gadgets. Whether it’s an urgent Apple Watch before a workout, last-minute AirPods for a Zoom call, or a spontaneous MacBook purchase, Blinkit ensures users never have to wait.
The ordering process remains as seamless as ever:
1. Open the Blinkit app
2. Browse the Apple product selection
3. Place an order
4. Receive your Apple device in 10 minutes
With this expansion, Blinkit is making tech as accessible and instant as a cup of coffee. If you ever wanted proof that the future is here, this is it.
MUMBAI: From flights to tracks, Cleartrip is now trying to keep every journey on the same ticket. Cleartrip, part of Flipkart, has launched train ticket bookings through a partnership with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, marking its entry into India’s vast rail travel ecosystem.
The integration allows users to search, book and manage train journeys directly within the app, as the company pushes towards becoming a unified, multi-modal travel platform. The move plugs Cleartrip into one of the world’s largest transportation networks, where over 800 million reserved passengers travel annually, alongside a daily footfall of around 23 million across Indian Railways.
The offering includes bookings across routes nationwide, covering General and Tatkal quotas as per Ministry of Railways guidelines. Users can also access real-time seat availability, fare insights, PNR status tracking, berth preferences and digital payment options within a single interface.
The expansion reflects a broader shift in travel platforms from specialising in a single mode to stitching together end-to-end journeys. For Cleartrip, the bet is not just on scale, but on simplifying a system often seen as complex and fragmented.
Company executives said the focus is on embedding predictive intelligence and personalisation into the booking journey, aiming to make everything from discovery to post-booking support faster and more intuitive.
The train booking feature is currently live on the app, with plans to extend it to the web platform soon, signalling a push towards a seamless cross-platform experience.
In a country where railways move billions each year, the next battleground for travel apps may well be decided not in the skies, but on the tracks.
