Ajay Lakhwani

Ajay manages all new business globally and leads a global team of around 300 people. In addition to various other business streams, Ajay is responsible for growing the ‘health and convenience’ proposition, which supplies convenience products to consumers within a short timeframe. His team does this through partnerships with convenience stores, large retailer and major brands.

Deliveroo recently announced the launch of new app aimed at facilitating communications between restaurants and suppliers.

Ajay believes that digital tech presents two key opportunities for the F&B sector. One is the ‘virtual brand’, which enables F&B companies to operate from virtual kitchens and do online audits, giving consumers access to a better selection of products at better prices. The second advantage of digital is to enable consumers to purchase and receive convenience and add-on products within short timeframes.
