Blinkit, a prominent name in the quick commerce sector, has taken a significant step toward enhancing its offerings for business.

In a recent LinkedIn post, Albinder Dhindsa, Founder of Blinkit, announced the launch of a new feature allowing businesses to add their GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) when making purchases. The new functionality addresses a growing demand among Blinkit's business customers for GST-compliant invoices, which play a crucial role in decision-making, particularly for high-value transactions.
