The operational engine continues to fire on all cylinders — eye tests surged 47%, units sold grew 22%, and new store additions more than doubled year-on-year. Importantly, 46% of all eye tests were first-time exams, validating Lenskart’s role in market creation rather than share capture.

Profitability Anchored in Structure and Scale

The company’s product margin of 69% reflects deep vertical integration and backward-linked manufacturing efficiency. Automation and robotics at its Bhiwadi plant have reduced lens and frame costs 35–40% below industry averages, creating structural margin strength.

EBITDA margin progression: FY23: 8.3% → FY24: 14.5% → FY25: 17.0% → Q2 FY26: 19.8%
PAT margin progression: FY23: -3.3% → FY24: 1.4% → FY25: 5.6% → Q2 FY26: 5.3%

These steady improvements validate Lenskart’s operating leverage thesis — fixed costs remain stable while revenue expands, translating into consistent margin expansion.

Technology: The Core Flywheel

Lenskart’s strength lies in its AI-driven omnichannel model.

  • Remote Eye Testing: Over 500 stores now operate with AI-assisted remote optometry, addressing India’s chronic shortage of trained optometrists.
  • GeoAnalytics (GeolQ): Uses satellite, mobility, and 3,000+ variables to identify profitable locations, ensuring predictable store payback (~10 months).
  • Computer Vision (TangoEye): Analyzes in-store behavior to optimize customer flow.
  • Digital Ecosystem: Over 100 million app downloads and 45% digitally influenced sales reinforce omnichannel depth.

These platforms ensure scalability and consistency — allowing Lenskart to open 300+ stores annually while maintaining service quality and unit economics.

Smart Glasses: The Next Consumer-Tech Leap

  • In Q4 FY26, Lenskart will debut its “B by Lenskart” Smart Glasses, integrating AI and Snapdragon AR1 technology.
  • These smart eyewear devices will offer UPI payments, fitness tracking, object scanning, translations, and real-time video capture — developed entirely in-house using the Gemini AI platform.
  • This initiative positions Lenskart not only as a retailer but as a hardware-software innovator, potentially opening a new high-margin product category globally.
