foodpandaFoodpanda, a global multi-location online food-ordering platform backed by Rocket Internet, has rebranded its Vietnamese affiliate partner Hungrypanda to Foodpanda. Its Vietnam partner is also sporting the Foodpanda logo now. With this rebranding, the company will operate in Asia and Eastern Europe under one common name.

The development came just after the company secured over $20 million in funding from a group of investors including Investment AB Kinnevik, a Sweden-based investment company, and Phenomen Ventures, a Russia-based venture capital firm, and existing investor Rocket Internet.

"We are excited to be part of the global Foodpanda movement. The rebrand and our new, big partners take us further towards becoming Vietnam's leading food delivery service," said Don Phan, managing director of Foodpanda in Vietnam.
