Strategic Outlook
Management highlighted FY26 as a defining year and emphasized a strategic shift toward becoming a consumer‑AI company. AI is being integrated across eye testing, manufacturing, store operations, product design, delivery systems, and customer experience tools. The firm is also advancing its integrated value chain through AI‑driven product design, factory automation, and faster delivery, including same‑day fulfilment in select markets. Store concepts are evolving into multi‑functional hubs that combine retail, clinic, warehouse, and last‑mile services. Investment in smart glasses under the “B by Lenskart” brand signals entry into next‑generation wearable technology.
Growth Guidance
For FY27, management expects approximately 25% annual volume growth on a medium‑term basis, with store additions projected to be broadly in line with FY26 levels. Global expansion is planned through partnerships, collaborations, and selective mergers and acquisitions.
