    [SINGAPORE] It has been eight months since Bhavani Shankar Mishra took over the hot seat as Singapore managing director for food-delivery platform foodpanda – and his stint has not been without its challenges.

    The latest development to hit the news headlines have been complaints about foreigners working as food-delivery riders. Already, enforcement actions have resulted in the arrest of three such individuals.

    But Mishra remains focused on foodpanda’s three key pillars – quick commerce, affordability and convenience – to drive the business forward.
