Broader IPO Market Environment
Lenskart's public offering is launching into a red-hot Indian IPO market:
Fundraising Spree: So far in 2025, Indian companies have collectively raised over ₹1 lakh crore via IPOs, making it the strongest fundraising run since 2021.
Massive Pipeline: Over 200 companies are reportedly planning to raise more than ₹2.9 lakh crore ($35 billion) in the coming year, underscoring the high investor confidence in new-generation businesses.
Upcoming Listings: Lenskart is kicking off a high-stakes fundraising spree, with other major market leaders like Groww, Pine Labs, ICICI Prudential AMC, and boAt collectively planning to raise approximately ₹35,000 crore in the next two months.
Recent Performance: Recent IPOs have delivered mixed results: LG Electronics India saw shares surge 50% on its debut, while the listing of Tata Capital was relatively muted, serving as a caution against unbridled enthusiasm.
The Lenskart IPO will be a significant test of investor sentiment toward a major, tech-enabled, omnichannel retail brand amidst this robust but selective market environment.
