The Quick Commerce Sector In India Just Became More Hospitable. Literally.

Blinkit’s 10-Minute Ambulance Service: Revolutionizing Emergency Medical Care in Urban India

Remember in the 2009 flick "3 Idiots", a character remarks, "You get pizza in this country in 30 minutes, but not an ambulance"? 16 years later, that might have changed.

In the last couple of years, it seems like consumers have been spoiled by a degree of convenience. Want food in 30 minutes? Want a lighter in 15 minutes? Want an avocado in 8 minutes? You got it, dude! Quick commerce seems to have been so successful in India, that even established players, like Flipkart, Myntra, JioMart, Magicpin, Amazon and Ola, were looking to go the q-comm route.

Did Netflix Fail To Pull Off Something That Indian OTTs Have Thrived In Doing?

So, November 2024 had a couple of interesting events. The 45th POTUS won the 2024 US election to become the 47th POTUS, the world's first wooden satellite was launched, Beyoncé became the most nominated artist in Grammy history and oh, there was a boxing match between a 27-year-old YouTuber and a 58-year-old renowned pugilist. That's right, Jake Paul and Michael Tyson battled it out in Arlington, Texas. And the whole thing was being streamed on Netflix, which had live-streamed a couple of things, such as a Christopher Rock stand-up special and a roast of NFL player Thomas Brady.

But, this time was different.

This bout was hyped up, there was trash talk, there was a BTS show (not the K-pop band, the behind-the-scenes of the training), many had commented on how Tyson would eviscerate Paul & there were close to 110 million total live viewers around the world with about 65 million concurrent streams and roughly 70,000 physical spectators.
