Solayman lost one of his legs in a childhood accident, but continued his education and worked to support himself. He now works as a delivery rider, navigating Dhaka's busy streets with determination.
Expressing his gratitude, Solayman said the e-bike would make a meaningful difference to his daily work.
"I am truly grateful to foodpanda for this e-bike. 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 said after receiving the e-bike.
The "Panda Rider Grand Iftar 2026" brought together around 500 delivery partners and guests from across Dhaka, creating an opportunity for riders and the company's leadership to connect and share their experiences during the holy month of Ramadan.
The event also featured interactive discussions between delivery partners and the management team aimed at better understanding riders' experiences and challenges. The programme concluded with a quiz session and prize distribution, recognising the contribution of riders who play a vital role in foodpanda's operations.
Foodpanda said it continues to support its delivery partners through initiatives such as healthcare assistance, insurance coverage and access to online education, reflecting its commitment to building a more inclusive and supportive ecosystem for its rider community.
