Grofers Renames Itself Blinkit as CEO Albinder Dhindsa Eyes Faster Deliveries

Grofers changed its name to Blinkit on Monday because its CEO promised to accelerate the delivery of everything from groceries to electronics in emerging markets dominated by Wal-Mart’s Flipkart and Amazon’s local division.

CEO Albinder Dhindsa told Reuters that the SoftBank-backed company has so far mainly focused on grocery delivery. It has more than 100 cooperative stores or warehouses in eight cities. These stores or warehouses can provide shoppers with 10 minutes Delivery service.

“We see this will be the future of business,” Dhindsa said. “Our goal is to have nearly 1,000 (partner) merchants by the middle of next year. We also plan to expand to 100 cities by March,” he added. Engineering graduates Dhindsa and Saurabh Kumar founded Grofers as an online grocery store at the end of 2013. Its expansion into the wider Indian e-commerce field puts it directly against powerful competitors such as Flipkart, Amazon, and tycoon billionaire Mu Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance is a retail drive in a market where Ernst & Young expects an average annual growth of 27%. By 2024, it will reach 99 billion U.S. dollars (approximately 750.11 billion rupees).

Dhindsa said the company currently has 2,000 employees and will hire more engineers. “We will increase the number of people as much as possible based on business needs. We have hired 700 people in the past 4 months and we hope to expand very, very aggressively.”

Another 20,000 people work indirectly for the company as delivery workers and partners. Dhindsa added that Blinkit’s supporters include investment company Tiger Global and local food delivery company Zomato, and are currently evaluating their capital requirements, but are not in a hurry to raise funds soon.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
