Foodpanda is one of the world’s largest food delivery platforms which operates in 11 locations worldwide. The business is also well-settled in Pakistan as it covers almost every city. With an enormous number of people in the workforce, Foodpanda is dedicated to providing services for the best customer experience. Recently, the firm partnered with KalPay to help their riders purchase smartphones in easy installments.
KalPay is a financial services platform launched by two talented graduates from LUMS to promote the concept of BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later). The company has been operating in the financial industry since 2021 and has provided multiple Shariah-compliant consumer financing solutions to businesses. KalPay aims to transform the current economic ecosystem of country and allows customers to pay conveniently without any extra or hidden charges.
The partnership between firms will facilitate the riders’ access to easy BNPL services using KalPay’s innovative solutions. The riders will get the opportunity to buy smartphones in easy installments. Having a suitable mobile is a need of time for every Foodpanda rider, as it ensures convenience for them in performing their duties.
A good smartphone is necessary for riders to track and deliver orders on time. It eases their struggles of locating the correct address of the customers using maps and other modern-day applications. The partnership between both firms will enable easy navigation and smartphone operation for breadwinners.
Farhan Khan, Director of Operations at foodpanda Pakistan, spoke about the partnership and said, “Our riders are our driving force, and we at foodpanda continue to facilitate them as much as we can.”
He added, “The partnership will empower our riders to purchase smartphones of choice in easy monthly installments using KalPay’s Shariah-aligned smartphone financing facility. A well-functioning smartphone is always instrumental in bringing efficiency in the delivery process.”
The initiative from Foodpanda and KalPay will enhance overall experience for riders by adding a commitment to work. Also, the collaboration will improve interaction between organizations, uplifting the standards of country’s business industry.
