Furthermore, the CEO of Foodpanda Nauman Sikander Mirza describing his new technology said, “Foodpanda’s core ethos is to constantly innovate, stretch the limits and leverage technology to find great solutions for meeting the evolving needs of the people.”
“Before we start actual drone deliveries for our customers, there are still many aspects that need to be thoroughly evaluated and locked in, including technical, operational and legal matters and we are vigorously addressing all these. The successful test flight and delivery today has been highly encouraging and proves we are on the right flight path.” He added.
However, Pandafly is the first kind of drone project to be used by any delivery company in Pakistan for overcoming the disruption of making deliveries possible on time.
