The Foodpanda Rider Ayesha Memon
Ayesha Memon, a Karachi native, is from a lower socioeconomic level. Her tenacity, on the other hand, defies all odds. She works as a rider for the Foodpanda food delivery service. For the past few months, she and her father, Muhammad Iqbal, have been working together. She was lucky enough to meet one of the Foodpanda helpers, who brought her to the office and eventually become a member of their team. Her father is assisting her with this because she does not yet know how to ride a bike.
Ayesha is delivering the meal as her father is riding his motorcycle. Everyone loves what Ayesha is doing and encourages her that there is nothing a woman can’t accomplish in this culture, she says.
Her father, a banker, was concerned about her safety. However, he is unable to work owing to an injury to his arm. He agreed to let Ayesha deliver meals on the condition that he would help her during working hours. Because Ayesha is his only child.
