    When it came to deodorants and perfumes, the Blinkit founder tweeted: "Looks like love is in the air... or is that just a pleasant scent?"

    Around 2 pm on Tuesday, Albinder Dhindsa also noted that 30 percent of all orders on Blinkit were placed for someone else. And by 3.15 pm, the company sold more chocolates than what they usually do in a week.
