Next time anyone comes on Shark Tank n asks for a particular valuation n if panel asks valuation rationale, they should say - the same rationale you gave for IPO 😂😂
Lenskart IPO
Interesting Secondary Market Transactions
In July-25: Piyush Bansal acquired shares from existing investors at $1 bn valuation (52 per share)
In Oct-25, Bansal Family sold shares to Damani at valuation of $7 bn (402 per share)
Crazy Spurt in Valuations of the company just before the IPO
On a lighter note, if @peyushbansal pitches Lenskart on Shark Tank at 228 times earnings or 10.5 times sales, he probably won't Invest in it himself 😅😉

Exams Everywhere… Except for Investors!
MFDs need to clear exams before starting their practice.
RIAs too must pass rigorous certification.
There are separate exams for PMS professionals — and now for SIFs as well.
Every intermediary or advisor is tested before handling other people’s money.
But the investor, who chooses to invest directly, without any guidance — needs no qualification, no test, no accountability.
Strange, isn’t it?
Those who advise need to prove competence.
Those who invest crores directly — need only confidence.
If exams are about protecting investors,
maybe it’s time to ask —
who protects investors from themselves?
Just a thought!
@atherenergy I did not buy this ev to hear fancy excuses like glitch etc. If u dont test yr vehicles thoroughly bfore selling then why do u sell them. Why to degrade yr reputation.
Ather rizta again facing issues with charging and display. See pic. Percent shows 69 and kms is 50. However, dashboard slots are 7 which say 70 kms. Pathetic. @atherenergy#rizta@autocarindiamag#ConsumerRights
