For the sixth episode of Vulcan TV, we are really fortunate to have visited foodpanda‘s headquarters in Singapore.
Avid readers of Vulcan Post would have known, we have covered foodpanda quite extensively, the company allows you to easily order food online and get them delivered to your doorsteps instantly.
To help bring more food to hungry customers in 45 countries globally, foodpanda recently also received an investment of $60 million in new financing from a group of investors, making the total investment into the company to a tune of over $100 million since it was started in 2012.
For Vulcan TV, we were very privileged to speak to Ralf Wenzel, the co-founder and global managing director for foodpanda for our exclusive interview segment. A huge thanks to Lester who was our host for the episode.
Vulcan TV would like to thank foodpanda for their patience and time to have the crew over.
