Lenskart's AI-led eye care and delivery push resurfaces as Titan EyeCare leans on fitting labs

Resurfacing details from earlier this year: Lenskart added 203 net new India stores in H1 FY26, expanded remote eye testing to 500-plus stores and offers next-day delivery in 58 cities. Titan EyeCare had 871 exclusive stores as of September 2025, competing through optometrist-led service, fitting labs and omnichannel conversion.

Lenskart and Titan EyeCare are pursuing contrasting India eyewear strategies. Lenskart is scaling AI-led site selection, remote testing, fast delivery and in-house manufacturing, while Titan relies on trained optometrists, fitting labs and omnichannel conversion. Both target a large, underserved prescription-led market.

Why this matters

Lenskart's push follows its H1 FY26 store, testing, delivery and local-production expansion; it resurfaces as HSBC's April 2026 Hold note cited room for 7,000 India stores.

Omni-channel is steady, with 1,395 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
