Sources have made a statement that Food panda has announced its plans to invest Rs 400 crore in India to scale up technology, to ensure seamless experience for partner restaurants, users and riders across all the metros and other key cities in the country. Additionally, the company plans to hire 25,000 delivery riders in the next 12 to 15 months.
According to sources Food Panda will focus on strengthening relationships
with partner restaurants, by enabling them with robust back end technology and
providing assistance through their own delivery network. Meanwhile
Food Panda claims that a strong technology back end and a dense logistics
network would also ensure better services for present and prospective
customers.
Meanwhile the investment will focus on creating transparent, more
efficient and time-saving procedures for delivery logistics. Further the
investment would also entail partner and rider recognition programs for better
performance. Presently Food panda has menus from 15,000+ restaurants across 150+
cities in India available on its app and website. In December 2017, Ola
acquired food panda with a commitment for infusion of funds to the tune of Rs
1,300 crore from parent ANI Technologies.
