Lenskart launches Japan’s Owndays eyewear in India

India’s eyewear retailer LensKart has introduced Owndays’ Japanese eyewear products to the Indian market.

This follows LensKart’s acquisition of a majority stake in Owndays over two years ago for US$400 million.

Founded in 2010, LensKart seeks to enhance its offerings by incorporating international brands.

The integration of Owndays products is a strategic expansion of its portfolio. Despite this, Owndays will continue operating independently under its own brand.
