Indian eyewear giant Lenskart, co-founded by Peyush Bansal, is all set to enter the stock market with a massive ₹8,000 crore Initial Public Offering (IPO). The IPO is expected to be one of the largest in India this year and has already created excitement among investors.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has approved Lenskart’s IPO, which includes a fresh issue of ₹2,150 crore and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of up to 13.2 crore shares by existing promoters and investors. The company aims for a listing in early November 2025.
Pre-IPO Buzz and Investor Interest
Ahead of the IPO, Lenskart successfully raised ₹430 crore through a pre-IPO placement involving top investors like Radhakishan Damani of DMart and SBI Mutual Fund. The grey market has shown strong demand for Lenskart shares, with prices hitting ₹510 per share, signaling a potential valuation of $10 billion.
Peyush Bansal on the Cusp of Billionaire Status
Lenskart’s IPO could make Shark Tank India judge Peyush Bansal a billionaire. His stake in the company is estimated to be valued at around $800 million, and if Lenskart shares rise by about 25% on debut, Bansal’s net worth could exceed $1 billion.
