The wait is finally over for investors and eyewear enthusiasts alike — Lenskart Solutions Limited is all set to make its much-anticipated stock market debut today, November 10, on both the BSE and NSE at 10 am. Following an overwhelming response to its IPO, the homegrown eyewear giant is expected to make a splash on Dalal Street.
A Visionary Beginning: From IPO to Listing Day
The Lenskart IPO allotment was finalized on November 6, after a short delay caused by a market holiday on November 5. The offer period ran from October 31 to November 4, giving investors ample time to participate in one of the most talked-about issues of the year.
The buzz around the IPO was undeniable. Investors from across categories — retail, institutional, and non-institutional — flocked to grab a piece of Lenskart, hoping to capitalize on the company’s strong brand presence and expanding market share in India’s fast-growing eyewear segment.
Record-Breaking Demand: IPO Oversubscribed 28.26 Times
Lenskart’s IPO was a certified blockbuster. According to NSE data, the public issue drew bids for a staggering 2,81,88,45,777 shares, against the 9,97,61,257 shares available. This translates to an impressive 28.26 times subscription, placing it among the most successful IPOs of the year.
Here’s how different investor categories performed:
-
Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs): 40.35 times subscribed
-
Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs): 18.23 times subscribed
-
Retail Individual Investors (RIIs): 7.54 times subscribed
The strong institutional demand reflected the market’s confidence in Lenskart’s long-term business model and scalability, while robust retail participation highlighted its mass-market appeal.
Lenskart IPO Details: Price Band, Issue Size & OFS Breakdown
The book-built issue was priced in the range of ₹382–₹402 per share, with investors required to bid for a minimum lot of 37 shares. The total issue size stood at ₹7,278.02 crore, split between a fresh issue of ₹2,150 crore and an Offer for Sale (OFS) worth ₹5,128.02 crore.
The OFS component saw participation from some of Lenskart’s most notable shareholders. Founders Peyush Bansal, Neha Bansal, Sumeet Kapahi, and Amit Chaudhary were among the key sellers. In addition, major investors like Kedaara Capital Fund II LLP, PI Opportunities Fund-II, SVF II Lightbulb (Cayman) Ltd (SoftBank), Macritchie Investments Pte Ltd, Schroders Capital Private Equity Asia Mauritius Ltd, and Alpha Wave Ventures LP partially offloaded their stakes.
The proceeds from the fresh issue will fund expansion of company-owned (CoCo) stores, lease payments, technology upgrades, brand marketing, and strategic acquisitions — all crucial steps in Lenskart’s mission to dominate the eyewear space both in India and globally.
