Lenskart is scaling India eyewear through AI-led location selection, remote tests, rapid delivery and local manufacturing, while Titan EyeCare focuses on optometry, fitting labs and omnichannel service. Lenskart delivered stronger FY26 growth and margins; Titan’s segment EBIT declined.

Why this matters

The results extend Lenskart's recent lead: prior signals highlighted 203 H1 FY26 store additions and a 19.8% EBITDA margin, while another resurfaced its 7,000-store India network plan alongside HSBC's April Hold call.
