Blinkit

Eternal Industries Ltd. posted a robust profit of Rs. 65 crore in the second quarter, driven largely by its strategic partnership with Blinkit and strong operational performance. The company’s revenue growth reflects rising demand for its core products, coupled with expanded digital distribution channels. Analysts highlight that the collaboration with Blinkit has enhanced market reach and consumer engagement, supporting higher sales volumes. Eternal’s quarterly performance underscores the potential of synergistic partnerships in scaling revenue and profitability.

Eternal Ltd., the parent company of food delivery platform Zomato and quick-commerce arm Blinkit, has reached a new milestone in India’s equity markets. The firm’s market capitalisation has climbed to around Rs. 3.13 lakh crore, propelling it ahead of industrial heavyweight Tata Motors and luxury goods leader Titan. Despite a sharp drop in profitability, Eternal’s revenue surge—powered largely by Blinkit’s rapid expansion—has driven strong investor enthusiasm.

Airtel's highly anticipated SIM home delivery service in partnership with Blinkit has been temporarily halted, just days after its launch announcement. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) raised concerns about the compliance with existing self-KYC norms, prompting the suspension. Initially launched with promises of delivering SIM cards within ten minutes to customers across 16 major cities, the service faced regulatory hurdles that have led to its suspension for the time being.

Bharti Airtel, one of India’s leading telecom providers, has launched a pioneering partnership with quick commerce platform Blinkit to deliver SIM cards to customers within 10 minutes—an industry-first move aimed at redefining customer convenience. Initially rolled out in 16 major Indian cities, the service includes prepaid, postpaid, and number portability options. At a nominal fee of Rs. 49, the SIM cards will be delivered directly to customers’ doorsteps, followed by a seamless Aadhaar-based activation process.
