Strengths of Lenskart
- Vertically integrated manufacturing and supply chain, helping cost control.

- Strong growth in revenue and recent profitability turnaround.
- A market segment (eyewear) with growth tailwinds: increasing optometry needs, rising disposable incomes, health awareness.
Key Risks & Considerations
- While FY2025 saw a profit, earlier years were loss-making; maintaining profitability is crucial.
- Dependence on raw material supply (for frames, lenses) and potential cost pressures.
- Competition and market fragmentation: other players in eyewear retail, offline and online.
- Execution risks in scaling stores, both domestic and international.
- Recently disclosed promoter educational documentation issue (for one co-founder) flagged in IPO filing.
Use of Proceeds
The fresh issue funds will be used for:
- Expansion of company-owned company-operated (CoCo) stores in India.
- Lease/rent/licence payments for new CoCo stores.
- Investment in technology and cloud infrastructure.
- Brand marketing and promotion to deepen customer engagement.
- General corporate purposes.
Investor Outlook
For an investor considering the IPO:
- The valuation at issue size and price band suggests expectations of strong future growth.
- If Lenskart maintains momentum in profitability and executes expansion well, it could be a meaningful play in retail + technology in India.
- But, investors should monitor store expansion costs, margin pressures, execution risk, and competitive threats.
- The listing gains expectation: as per market sources, grey market premium suggests potential listing upside.
Conclusion
Lenskart’s IPO offers a compelling story: a leading eyewear retailer in India, with a growing global footprint, strong recent financial results and a large addressable market. However, the success post-listing will depend heavily on execution, margin stability and sustained growth. Investors should weigh both the growth potential and risks carefully.
