Peyush Bansal, CEO and the co-founder of Lenskart, announced today that his company is looking for plot in Bengaluru to start a mega factory.
Lenskart, currently headquartered at Haryana’s Gurigram, is looking for 25 acres of plot within 60 km radius of Bengaluru’s Kempagowda International Airport.
