Entrepreneurial Journey
Rohit began his entrepreneurial journey in 2012 when he co-founded foodpanda. Before foodpanda got popular he used to tell people that he delivers pizza for a living. Foodpanda is active in over 40 countries across the world with over 22,000 restaurant partners and has raised a total investment of over USD 100 million till August 2014. In 2015, he launched a multi-channel offline payments platform Paylo which acquired the in-restaurant payments app Ruplee in March 2016 for an undisclosed sum. Rohit believes that execution is more important than the idea to make a startup successful and the key challenge for experienced professionals to work in a startup environment is to unlearn what they have previously learned.
