foodpanda Bangladesh has gifted an e-bike to physically challenged delivery rider Solayman in recognition of his resilience and contribution to the platform.
The e-bike was handed over during the “Panda Rider Grand Iftar 2026”, a special iftar gathering organised by the company for its delivery partners, the company said in a press release on Tuesday.
foodpanda Bangladesh Co-founder and Managing Director Ambareen Reza and Co-founder and Managing Director Zubair B A Siddiky handed over the e-bike at the event held at Altair Convention Hall on Madani Avenue in Dhaka.
Solayman lost one of his legs in a childhood accident but continued his education and later joined foodpanda as a delivery rider, navigating the busy streets of Dhaka for work.
“I am truly grateful to foodpanda for this e-bike,” Solayman said.
“Delivering orders in the city can be challenging, but this support will make my work easier and allow me to continue my journey with confidence,” he added.
Around 500 delivery partners and guests from across Dhaka attended the iftar event, creating an opportunity for riders and company leadership to interact and share experiences during Ramadan.
The programme also included discussions between delivery partners and the management team to understand riders’ challenges, followed by a quiz session and prize distribution.
foodpanda said it continues to support delivery partners through initiatives such as healthcare assistance, insurance coverage and access to online education.
foodpanda operates an on-demand delivery platform offering food, grocery and other services across 10 Asian markets including Bangladesh, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Pakistan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.
