Khandelwal comes with close to a decade of experience across sectors such as e-commerce, education and healthcare. An IIM-Kozhikode alumnus, he has led marketing initiatives for organizations such as Bluestone, Little Black Book (LBB) and UpGrad in the past.
"While building a robust product and delivery network lies at the centre of our business, it is equally essential to connect with all our stakeholders- restaurants, riders and end consumers through strategically streamlined brand initiatives. With Anshul coming on board, we intend to leverage his varied experience in offline and online mediums to scale Foodpanda’s marketing efforts nationally," said Pranay Jivrajka, CEO, Foodpanda India.
Besides Khandelwal and Balijepalli, Ola has also hired Anuj Sahai as the head of new initiatives and Nitin Gupta as head of engineering in the last two months.
Ola acquired Foodpanda's India business from Germany-based Delivery Hero Group in exchange of its stock in December and also committed a fund infusion of Rs 1,300 crore.
Foodpanda currently claims to be having menus from over 20,000 restaurants across over 150 cities in India.
