Explaining the decision, Eternal founder Deepinder Goyal noted that the move is aimed at stopping people from using the vehicles for routine, non-emergency tasks that can be handled by normal cabs. Notably, the emergency transfers will remain completely free of charge. Blinkit has announced a major policy shift for its quick-response ambulance service, introducing a flat fee of Rs 2,500 for non-emergency bookings.
“People should be a little more thoughtful when they use such services. This charge is actually good. The problem with Indians is that they think anything free is their birthright.
Well, due to these things, I love capitalism,” another user said.
In response, Goyal said, “Stay well, and I pray you don’t need us. @sparsh_sehgal – I wish your grandma a speedy recovery, and I am so glad we were able to be there on time. “This is great work; how can we help to scale it up more?” a third user said.
