In India, buying vegetables from a nearby sabzi mandi seems incomplete without the 'complimentary' dhaniya (coriander leaves) that comes along. Let's agree, most of you will resonate with this feeling! Taking a cue from the same, Blinkit has recently introduced the same practice to make the online delivery platform yet more relatable for all. You read that right! Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to announce the news, adding that they will polish the feature in the upcoming weeks.
"It's live! Everyone please thank Ankit's mom. We will polish the feature in next couple of weeks," he posted, along with a screenshot of a Blinkit cart, showing dhaniya being listed as 'free gift' along with the ordered vegetables.

Ankit further tagged Albinder Dhindsa on the post and shared his mother's idea of 'free dhaniya' on buying vegetables through the grocery delivery platform. "Mom got a mini heart attack because she had to pay for dhaniya on Blinkit. @albinder- mom is suggesting that you should bundle it for free with a certain amount of veggies," the post read.
It seems Blinkit's CEO was quick enough to take the suggestion .
