What is the story about?  
Lenskart Solutions IPO Live Updates: The ₹7,278.02 crore initial public offering (IPO) of SoftBank-backed eyewear startup Lenskart Solutions will kick off for subscription today. The company is set to offer shares in a price band between ₹382-402 per share.
Ahead of the opening of the IPO, Lenskart raised ₹3,268.4 crore from anchor investors, including Government of Singapore, Monetary Authority of Singapore, Government Pension Fund Global (Norway), BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Nomura, JP Morgan, among others.
      
    
At this higher end of the price band, Lenskart Solutions will be valued at around ₹69,741 crore on a post-issue basis. Investors can make bids in lots of 37 shares and in multiples thereafter.
The issue will close for subscription on November 4. A key point of caution among analysts is the quality of recent profit. The company has become PAT positive in FY25, reporting a profit of ₹297 crore. However, this profit largely stems from a one-time, non-cash accounting gain, leading to high P/E multiples on a normalised basis.
