Blinkit is owned by Zomato Limited (now Eternal Limited), which acquired the company in June 2022 in an all-stock deal worth approximately $568 million. Originally founded as Grofers in 2013 by Albinder Dhindsa and Saurabh Kumar, the company rebranded to Blinkit in December 2021 to focus on ultra-fast grocery delivery services. Since the acquisition, Blinkit operates as a subsidiary under Zomato's ecosystem.
