Albinder Singh Dhindsa, the co-founder of Blinkit, released his memoir titled "Buildit" on April 15, 2026 [1].
The book arrives as Dhindsa takes on a larger leadership role within the corporate structure of the parent company, Eternal. By documenting the birth and challenges of the quick-commerce sector, the memoir provides a blueprint for the operational shifts required to prioritize speed as a primary product.
Published by HarperCollins India, the book was first announced on April 11, 2026 [2]. It is also styled as "Buildit: Building Blinkit" and offers a candid account of the company's journey from its early days as Grofers to its current state as a leader in rapid delivery [3, 4].
Dhindsa's transition to author coincides with a significant shift in his professional responsibilities. On Feb. 1, 2026, he assumed the role of Group Chief Executive Officer of Eternal [5], the parent company of both Zomato and Blinkit. In this capacity, he replaced Deepinder Goyal as the head of the organization [5].
The memoir focuses on the entrepreneurial hurdles faced during the creation of the quick-commerce model. It traces the evolution of the sector in India, detailing how the company navigated the logistical complexities of near-instant delivery [4].
The publisher said the work is intended to share the specific lessons learned while scaling a high-growth startup in a competitive market [2]. The narrative explores the strategic pivots, and the operational discipline necessary to sustain a business model built on extreme efficiency [4].
“The memoir provides a candid account of building Blinkit and the evolution of the quick-commerce sector.”
The release of this memoir signals a transition for Dhindsa from an operational founder to a corporate strategist and thought leader. By codifying the 'Blinkit' playbook, the company is asserting its influence over the quick-commerce category just as Dhindsa takes the helm of Eternal, suggesting a future where the rapid-delivery model may be integrated more deeply across the parent company's broader portfolio.
