Speaking at the award ceremony, Bhavna Dadlani Jayawardena<\/strong>, General Manager, Uber Sri Lanka, said, \u201cDelivery partners are the force behind Uber Eats and we are truly overwhelmed by the commitment and passion that they have displayed. During the pandemic, they went the extra mile to keep cities moving and help keep Sri Lankans safe. The \u2018Delivery Bonanza\u2019, now in its second year, is our token of appreciation for their consistent efforts. We want to celebrate their achievements which help make Uber Eats their platform of choice.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

The Uber Eats \u2018Delivery Bonanza\u2019 inspires and empowers delivery partners to get maximum value from the Uber Eats app. It helps them find flexible work that fits their life and helps them achieve their financial goals. This is one of the many initiatives rolled out by Uber Eats to encourage delivery partners on its platform. In the recent past, Uber Eats hosted the Entrepreneurship Challenge to provide partners with a platform to share innovative ideas. During the pandemic, the company supported partners by providing them safety supplies (masks, sanitizers, etc.) and helped provide financial support to the ones who could not drive due to restrictions.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
