American man’s video shows Blinkit delivery reaching in six minutes in Delhi
New Delhi: A video shared by an American resident living in South Delhi has drawn attention to the speed of India’s quick-commerce services after it showed a Blinkit order being delivered in just six minutes.
The video was posted by Charlie Evans, who shared it to show friends in the United States how delivery services operate in Indian cities. In the clip, Evans places an order for bottled water and a screwdriver at 5.43 pm. The delivery arrives at his doorstep at 5.49 pm, leaving him visibly surprised.

In the video description, Evans described the service as “supreme” and noted that such a turnaround time would be difficult to imagine in most American cities. He explained that Blinkit works as a one-stop platform for daily and last-minute needs, offering items ranging from groceries to household tools.
Evans also spoke about the efficiency of delivery partners in navigating Delhi’s dense neighbourhoods and apartment complexes. He said he was often impressed by how quickly riders locate addresses, adding that finding the correct building is sometimes the only reason for minor delays.
The video gained traction on social media, with many users sharing similar experiences of rapid deliveries in Indian metro cities, where quick-commerce platforms commonly promise deliveries within 10 minutes. Some users commented that such services have become a routine part of urban life in India.
Similar observations have been made earlier by other foreign residents and entrepreneurs, including a US-based businessman who recently said he was surprised to receive orders from Indian delivery platforms within minutes, compared to significantly longer delivery times in the United States.
