Lenskart's Rise: From Online Startup to Eyewear Leader

Lenskart's Rise: From Online Startup to Eyewear Leader

Lenskart started by selling glasses online in 2010, and then opened stores in 2013.

They quickly became a big name in the eyewear business, beating out older companies.

They sell glasses at good prices and now have many stores in India and some around the world.

They even bought other brands to grow faster, like Owndays and Meller.

Lenskart makes its own glasses in several factories, but they aren't using them to their full potential.

Now, Lenskart wants to raise more money by selling stocks.

They are expanding their stores and factories, hoping more people will buy their glasses, although they are investing heavily, with the risk that expansion might outpace demand.
