The multi-vertical partnership aims to deliver fresh Carlsberg beers and shopping experiences to customers 

SINGAPORE and HONG KONG, July 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — foodpanda, Asia’s leading food and grocery delivery platform, has expanded its collaboration with Carlsberg Asia to make Carlsberg’s extensive variety of beverages more accessible to consumers in fun and fresh ways, especially during relevant drinking occasions. 

The partnership will bring exciting campaigns from both brands, designed to make Carlsberg beers more appealing to consumers. Carlsberg will also deepen its use of foodpanda’s extensive network of cloud grocery stores through pandamart and its strong ties with retailers via foodpanda shops to make Carlsberg beers easier to access; as part of consumers’ enjoyable memorable moments.

According to foodpanda’s Delivery and Retail Trends 2023, beer is one of the top five most ordered grocery items in APAC. Coupled with foodpanda’s data on customers’ purchasing habits, this partnership ensures that consumers receive personalised recommendations and special promotions for Carlsberg at specific moments of their user journey on the foodpanda app, increasing their cartout rate. 

“We know that our consumers love their beer, so we are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Carlsberg to make sure everyone can enjoy their favourite drinks in the freshest and most satisfying ways possible,” said Raphael Zennou, Vice President of Quick Commerce at foodpanda. “Together, we are not only meeting our consumers’ demand for high-quality beer but also enhancing the overall shopping experience with quick and reliable delivery within an hour. In the spirit of Carlsberg, this is Probably The Best Partnership In The World!”

Together with foodpanda, we will roll out exciting campaigns and initiatives that will make Carlsberg beers even more accessible and appealing to beer lovers across Asia,” said Arindam Varanasi, Vice President, Commercial, Carlsberg Asia.

Tapping on retailers’ extensive reach to deliver Carlsberg for every occasion

The collaboration between foodpanda and Carlsberg also enables retailers, including Singapore’s favourite convenience store 7-Eleven, to engage a wider audience and increase sales. This summer, foodpanda, Carlsberg Singapore, and 7-Eleven Singapore teamed up to launch exclusive football-themed promotions on Carlsberg beers purchased from 7-Eleven stores via the foodpanda app, enabling a seamless and more enjoyable experience for consumers to get their favourite brews. This included an exclusive football season promotional bundle featuring Carlsberg Pilsner and Draught beers, which pair well with 7-Eleven’s Ready-To-Eat selections.  

“7-Eleven Singapore is excited to partner with foodpanda and Carlsberg, two brands that share our commitment to providing enjoyable experiences for our customers. By combining foodpanda’s efficiency and reliability with our expansive network of stores available 24/7, and our exciting Ready-To-Eat offerings and snacks, this collaboration enhances the round-the-clock convenience of enjoying Carlsberg beers. At 7-Eleven, we are constantly innovating to stay at the forefront of the retail scene and meet the evolving needs of our customers, and this partnership represents a significant step forward in that pursuit,” said Anushree Khosla, Managing Director of 7-Eleven Singapore.

This expanded collaboration illustrates how foodpanda continues to connect brands with customers through a variety of channels on the platform, including retailers like 7-Eleven, pandamart, panda ads, and tailored campaigns. With this expanded multi-vertical approach, foodpanda and Carlsberg will explore new ways to enhance the shopping experience for customers across Asia, meeting their diverse needs.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021.
