Lenskart files IPO papers to raise Rs 2,150 crore, eyes tech and growth

Eyewear retailer Lenskart Solutions Ltd has filed preliminary documents for an initial public offering (IPO) that could raise up to ₹2,150 crore, as the company seeks to capitalise on rising demand for affordable prescription glasses and contact lenses. The offering comprises ₹2,150 crore in new shares and the sale of up to 132.3 million existing shares by current investors and company founders, according to the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) filed with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi). Among the selling shareholders are co-founders Peyush Bansal, Neha Bansal, Amit Chaudhary and Sumeet Kapahi, along with investors including SoftBank's SVF II Lightbulb (Cayman) Ltd, Schroders Capital Private Equity Asia Mauritius Ltd, PI Opportunities Fund – II, Macritchie Investments Pte Ltd, Kedaara Capital Fund II LLP, and Alpha Wave Ventures LP. The company may also conduct a private placement of up to ₹430 crore before filing the final prospectus, which would reduce the size of the fresh issue. Sources said the firm is aiming for an IPO valuation of about $10 billion. According to the DRHP, Lenskart plans to use ₹272.6 crore from the net proceeds to open new CoCo (company-owned, company-operated) stores in India, ₹591.4 crore for lease, rent and licence payments, ₹213.4 crore for technology and cloud infrastructure, and ₹320 crore for brand marketing and promotion. Remaining funds will be used for inorganic acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Kotak Mahindra Capital Company Ltd, Morgan Stanley India Company Pvt Ltd, Avendus Capital Pvt Ltd, Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt Ltd, Axis Capital Ltd, and Intensive Fiscal Services Pvt Ltd are the book running lead managers to the issue. Founded in 2008, Lenskart launched its online platform in 2010 and opened its first retail store in New Delhi in 2013. The company aims to improve access to quality, affordable eyewear through a tech-enabled supply and distribution network. Globally and in India, Gurugram-based Lenskart competes with Titan Eyeplus, Specsmakers, Vision Express, Warby Parker and Italian eyewear conglomerate Luxottica Group. Lenskart currently operates India's largest eyewear retail network with a presence in metropolitan and smaller cities, as well as in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. It runs manufacturing units in Bhiwadi and Gurugram, supported by regional hubs in Singapore and the UAE. It targets a wide customer base with both premium and affordable brand offerings. Nearly 45 per cent of its India revenue comes from customers who engaged digitally within 90 days prior to purchase. India remains Lenskart's largest market in Asia. In FY25, the company recorded over 100 million app downloads and 105 million website visitors globally. It operates 2,723 stores—2,067 in India and 656 overseas. In FY25, Lenskart reported revenue from operations of ₹6,652.5 crore, up 22.5 per cent from ₹5,427.7 crore in FY24. The company reported a net profit of ₹297.34 crore, compared to a net loss of ₹10.15 crore in FY24. EBITDA, excluding other income, stood at ₹971 crore, up 44.5 per cent from ₹672 crore in the previous fiscal. Risk Factors However, the DRHP outlines several risks that could impact the company's operations, financials and growth outlook. Lenskart has incurred losses in the past and may continue to do so. Its geographic concentration is another concern, as a significant portion of revenue is derived from India. The company's brand strategy is heavily reliant on in-house labels, and its international ambitions carry regulatory and operational risks. The DRHP also flags potential funding needs, stating that Lenskart may require additional capital in future. Leadership continuity is another area of concern. The company is dependent on its promoters and senior management. The DRHP states that future success hinges on the continued involvement of Peyush Bansal and other key executives. Additionally, it notes that Sumeet Kapahi, one of the promoters and Global Head of Sourcing, has been unable to locate copies of his (Hons.) degree and marksheets from the University of Delhi. Operationally, Lenskart's private-label model exposes it to inventory and quality-related risks. Its franchise and partner store network introduces third-party vulnerabilities. On the technology front, Lenskart's geo-analytics tools help forecast revenue potential and payback periods. A 500-member technology team builds and maintains its core digital infrastructure—including websites, mobile apps, warehouse systems and AI-powered supply chain tools. The DRHP cites an estimated 1.3 billion people across India, Japan, Southeast Asia and the Middle East—representing 32 per cent of the global population—with refractive errors in FY25. In India, this share increased from 43 per cent (590 million) in FY20 to 53 per cent (777 million) in FY25, and is projected to reach 62 per cent (943 million) by FY30.

Burj Khalifa vs Gurugram flat price: Gurugram homes are now more expensive than apartments in world's tallest building in Dubai, 1 BHK units cost is Rs…

Gurugram's real estate market is now becoming costlier than not only Indian cities but also global luxury hubs like Dubai. In premium residential projects like DLF Camellias and The Magnolias, apartment prices have climbed, starting from Rs 75 crore and going up to Rs 190 crore. Why Are Gurugram's Property Rates So High? Owning property in Gurugram is becoming difficult for common people day by day. Owning a luxury apartment has become more expensive than buying a home in Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa. For example, in high-end projects like DLF Camellias and The Magnolias, flat prices start at Rs 75–80 crore which is around Rs 1.8 lakh per sq ft a rate that, in some cases, is even higher than premium addresses like Palm Jumeirah or Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Gurugram VS Burj Khalifa, Dubai Flat Price Flat Type Gurugram (Rs Crore) Burj Khalifa, Dubai (Rs Crore) 1BHK 75–80 2.5–4.3 3BHK / Ultra-Luxury 150–190 12–14 Penthouse (Super-Luxury) – 200 A 1BHK in Gurugram's luxury projects can cost Upto Rs 75–80 crore, compared to Rs 2.5–4.3 crore in Burj Khalifa. For a 3BHK ultra-luxury apartment, Gurugram prices range between Rs 150–190 crore, while similar units in Burj Khalifa are priced around Rs 12–14 crore. While a super-luxury penthouse in Burj Khalifa can touch Rs 200 crore, Gurugram has also seen flat sales close to that price range even for smaller units. Why Are Prices Skyrocketing in Gurugram? Experts attribute this trend to a combination of factors: NRI investments Limited supply of premium units Growing demand from corporate hubs And prime location advantages Over the past five years, average property prices in Gurugram have jumped by more than 80%. In 2020, some areas were priced at around Rs 7,000 per sq ft — today, premium projects are quoting up to Rs 1.8 lakh per sq ft. A luxury apartment in Burj Khalifa also costs around Rs 50–60 crore (in INR). However, in Gurugram's Camellias or Magnolias, similarly sized or even smaller units are being sold for Rs 80 crore or more. Record transactions have crossed the Rs 150–190 crore mark.

Guided tour of Delhi on AC e-buses likely from Sept

New Delhi: Delhi govt is going to expand its city tourism services by engaging two electric buses from Delhi Transport Corporation . Officials said that these buses would start from the Delhi Tourism's office at Baba Kharak Singh Marg and cover the city's popular tourist spots along with some new landmarks before dropping the passengers back from where it started. Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation has entered into an agreement with DTC to hire air-conditioned electric buses. "We hope to start the service by Sept 1 after getting the buses branded in special wrapping promoting Delhi as a tourist destination, and training of guides," said a DTTDC official. The buses will cover several destinations, including Connaught Place, Police Memorial, historical monuments, Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya and Dilli Haat. The buses will stop at certain destinations for a fixed time to allow the tourists to take a quick round. The proposed ticket price is Rs 500 for adults and Rs 300 for children aged between 6 and 12. Officials said that each bus would have a seating capacity of 32 passengers. There are also plans to introduce an audio translation service for which headsets with multiple language options will be provided. DTTDC planned to start six theme-based tours covering Delhi's heritage monuments, food streets, markets, shopping malls and museums before the G20 Summit in Sept 2023. The plan, however, was shelved considering that not many tourists may be interested in theme-based circuits and would rather prefer one consolidated tour covering all important destinations. A senior DTTDC official said that the department might consider expanding the service and engaging more buses to run on different circuits after evaluating the response to the soon-to-start city tours. Depending on the number of tourists booking for a city tour or for a trip outside Delhi, DTTDC provides cars as well as bigger vehicles on rent.
