‘Want to build infra for eyewear like Jio’s optical fibre,’ says Lenskart CEO Peyush Bansal

Eyewear major Lenskart wants to build heavy infrastructure–on the lines of Reliance Jio laying optic-fibre across the country–for eye-testing and distribution, founder & CEO Peyush Bansal said on Monday.

Lenskart will “redefine remote optometry”, he said. On creating value for customers, the Lenskart CEO noted that “profit is just a byproduct of that process”. The firm is not “raising more capital than necessary”, given its strong balance sheet and positive cash flows, Bansal added.​
