New Delhi: Gurugram-based quick commerce platform Blinkit has extended its service to the city of Kochi in Kerala, a social media post by a top company official said on Tuesday.
“Blinkit is now live in Kochi and just in time for Onam.

Blinkit, formerly known as Grofers India, was established in 2013 and is headquartered in Gurgaon. In 2022, the company was acquired by Zomato in an all-stock transaction valued at ₹4,447 crore. Today, Blinkit operates hundreds of franchise stores across 27 Indian cities, which are owned and managed by local entrepreneurs.
The Blinkit app, available on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, provides entrepreneurs with real-time, weekly, and monthly insights into critical business metrics and customer concerns. It also offers visibility into store team attendance and performance, ensuring a transparent system for accurate and timely payouts.
The company recently launched its services in cities like Bathinda, Punja; Haridwar, Uttarakhand and Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh.
