Eyewear giant Lenskart Solutions Ltd recently closed its much-anticipated Rs 7,278 crores initial public offering (IPO) on November 4, 2025, attracting massive investor interest with subscription rates soaring to over 28 times. The IPO price band was fixed between Rs 382 and Rs 402 per share, valuing the corporate near Rs 70,000 crores on the upper end. Lenskart’s IPO comprised a fresh issue value Rs 2,150 crores and a suggestion on the market (OFS) of about Rs 5,128 crores by its promoters and early investors including SoftBank Vision Fund II, Schroders Capital, and Temasek.
Soha Ali Khan breaks down Lenskart’s Rs 7,278 crores IPO; says, “It’s expensive in comparison with the present profits”
Lenskart, founded in 2008 by Peyush Bansal and Amit Chaudhary, today operates over 2,700 stores across India and international markets. The corporate reported revenues of Rs 6,652 crores for FY25 and is India’s largest organized eyewear retailer by volume. Proceeds from the IPO will fund expansion of company-operated stores, technology investments, marketing campaigns, and other corporate purposes.
Within the midst of the large IPO frenzy, Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan brought financial literacy to the forefront. Sharing a concise yet insightful video on social media, she urged followers to know the IPO fully before investing, mentioning that it’s “expensive in comparison with the present profits.” Soha said, “Should you imagine within the brand long run, then great. But in the event you’re hoping to get wealthy by next Friday, then perhaps have one other think.”
She simplified the concept of an IPO for her fans, explaining it as the primary time a personal company offers shares to the general public: “It’s saying, ‘Hey, now you’ll be able to own a tiny piece of our company.’” Soha’s message resonated widely at a time when a high valuation and big retail appetite combined to create a sell-out IPO event.
The allotment for the IPO can be announced on November 6, with shares slated for listing on BSE and NSE from November 10, 2025. Despite some valuation concerns from analysts, the IPO has been praised for its strong investor confidence, especially from qualified institutional buyers who subscribed 40 times their quota.
