Valentine’s Week is here, bringing with it roses, proposals, chocolates, teddies, hugs, kisses and a whole lot of love!
The week began with Rose day on 7 February. The tradition on the day typically involves giving a single red rose to express love and affection.
But Indians bought not just one rose or a bouquet of roses, but 108 roses per minute – revealed Blinkit’s CEO!
Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Indians quite literally bought 108 bouquets per minute.
In fact, he revealed that just by 11 am on 7 February, the company had sold more roses than they had done on Rose Day in 2023.
One smart user commented, “Analysts estimates were based on expectation that you might tweet these stats and then some more folks will realise about the day.”
The CEO also said that 20% of all orders since morning have been placed through their “Order for someone else flow”. To this, he said, “Love that we are able to help so many folks send a valentine’s gift today.”
