Foodpanda Appoints New Managing Director

Muntaqa Peracha is hired as the Managing Director (MD) of foodpanda Pakistan, effective June 1, 2022.

Muntaqa will be in charge of foodpanda’s overall operations in the country, as well as its growth and expansion, as well as the introduction of new verticals, as MD.

He takes over as CEO following two and a half years as Commercial Director at foodpanda Pakistan, where he helped establish the brand as a household name in Pakistan.

He was in charge of the company’s main food delivery operation throughout his time there, with an emphasis on establishing foodpanda as the preferred platform for participating merchants, consumers, and riders.

He also established new verticals like cloud kitchens and pandago, as well as foodpanda’s Logistics-as-a-Service vertical, which delivers quick, on-demand delivery, and grew the foodpanda Home Chefs program to more than ten thousand registered home-based enterprises today.

Muntaqa adds his knowledge in emerging markets, strategy, growth, commercial innovation, and business/profitability turnarounds to the table, based on his more than 18 years of experience leading teams in high-growth IT firms in Pakistan and beyond.

“Muntaqa has been an integral part of foodpanda’s growth journey for these past few years, and I’m confident that with his leadership, foodpanda will continue to scale across Pakistan and reach new milestones in the years ahead,” said Jakob Angele, CEO, foodpanda Asia.

“I’m honored to take up the mantle as MD of foodpanda Pakistan,” said Muntaqa Peracha.

“I thank the foodpanda leadership team for their trust, and look forward to leading the team to grow our footprint in Pakistan, and better serve our community of riders, merchants, and customers across the country.”
