“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.

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.
