About the Lenskart Unlisted Shares

Lenskart, since 2010, has been the pioneer in India in providing premium glasses at competitive costs to millions of people. In the almost one-and-a-half-decade journey, Lenskart expanded to other countries to become the largest eyewear company in Asia. From its current serving of over 40 million people, it has plans to serve one billion eyes by 2025, not only in India but globally. It is because of its state-of-the-art facility in Rajasthan using robots to make over five crore glasses annually. With thousands of retail sales across hundreds of cities, apart from e-commerce sales, free home delivery, and other means, Lenskart became a unicorn as early as 2019 and came out with an IPO sooner rather than later. Hence, the recent rise in Lenskart’s share price is to continue in the future to yield high returns. 

Peyush Bansal is one of the top entrepreneurs with a Midas touch to make many startups become unicorns in India and abroad. As a co-founder of Valyoo Technologies, the parent company of Lenskart, to empower people with clear vision, I also developed a brilliant business model to not only produce crores of glasses every year but also sell at a profit across India and other countries. Apart from the automated unit in Rajasthan, Lenskart also has a similar facility in New Delhi to make over one million high-quality glasses every year or over 3 lakh glasses every month. These facilities use cutting-edge technology with robots to create superior quality glasses at competitive costs and become the best Indian multinational optical prescription eyewear retail chain headquartered in Gurgaon. So, Lenskart’s unlisted stock price today is cheaper because of not only increasing the manufacturing capacities of the glasses but also selling them to more people to raise revenue rapidly.
