Temasek, Fidelity may invest $200 million in Lenskart at $5 billion valuation

Singapore’s Temasek and US’ Fidelity are in advanced discussions to invest around $200 million in Lenskart through a secondary share sale at a valuation of about $5 billion, three people aware of the matter said.
To put this in perspective, the round would take the homegrown eyewear company’s valuation to over three times that of Warby Parker, a New York-based online retailer for spectacles and contact lens. Warby Parker listed on the NYSE late in 2022 and has a market capitalisation of around $1.55 billion.
