Bharti Airtel has partnered with e-grocery delivery platform Blinkit to offer a revolutionary 10-minute SIM card delivery service in 16 Indian cities. This innovative service is a first-of-its-kind for an Indian telecom operator, highlighting the highly competitive nature of the Indian market.
Customers can receive their Airtel SIM cards delivered to their doorstep within ten minutes through Blinkit’s extensive network. A small convenience fee of INR49 applies. After delivery, customers can activate their new number using a simple online process, including options for postpaid or prepaid plans, or mobile number portability (MNP) to port existing numbers. A helpful activation video is also provided to guide customers through the process.
Importantly, customers have a 15-day window to activate their SIM after delivery to ensure a smooth transition. Initially, the service is available in 16 major cities across India, including Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, Chennai, and others.
This partnership strategically leverages Blinkit’s existing infrastructure and customer base, significantly enhancing Airtel’s customer experience and potentially increasing market share.
