foodpanda, India’s fastest growing food delivery company has entered its 20th city, as part of its aggressive expansion across the country.
In addition to the 7 cities where foodpanda had an active delivery partner network in place, 13 cities have gone live with foodpanda’s delivery partner network on ground. The newly launched 13 cities include Jaipur, Chandigarh, Kanpur, Lucknow, Indore, Ahmedabad, Nashik, Nagpur, Mysore, Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, Visakhapatnam and Coimbatore.
Over 3,000 restaurant partners have been on boarded to the platform in these 13 cities over the past weeks alongside 5,000 delivery partners. foodpanda aims to grow the number of delivery partners to 20,000 in the next 6 months across these cities.
With foodpanda’s robust delivery partner network on ground, consumers and restaurant partners will benefit from a seamless experience.

He further added, “foodpanda is also learning from Ola’s extensive experience of building hyperlocal solutions to solve for unique local challenges. Being a part of the Ola platform, foodpanda will explore opportunities to synergise its services and efforts of delivering superior food experiences to cater to a wider pool of customers across these cities.”
