Lenskart may see 20% valuation increase to $6b

Lenskart, an omnichannel eyewear retailer, may see its valuation rise by 20% to US$6 billion.

This potential increase depends on discussions for a new secondary share sale valued between US$200 million and US$300 million, according to sources.

Fidelity previously increased Lenskart’s valuation to US$5.6 billion, a 12% rise from the last secondary investment led by Fidelity and Temasek at US$5 billion.

Over the past year, Lenskart has engaged in secondary deals worth US$650 million.

Lenskart reported a revenue growth of over 40% in FY24, nearing profitability.
