Eyewear giant Lenskart is diving deep into the future of wearable tech. The company has invested in Ajna Lens, a homegrown startup that’s building next-generation smart glasses powered by AI and XR (Extended Reality). Their goal? To make smart glasses that are not only futuristic but also wearable, useful, and affordable.
This partnership marks a big step for both companies and could redefine how we use glasses—not just to see better, but to do more.
Founded in 2014, Ajna Lens is a Mumbai-based tech startup that’s been working quietly—but impressively—behind the scenes. Their specialty lies in spatial computing, AI vision, and XR (mixed reality). They’re building headsets and smart glasses that merge digital content with the physical world in real time.
In 2023, Ajna Lens made global headlines after winning the CES Innovation Award for its mixed reality headset called AjnaXR. This headset is already being used in serious environments like defense, education, and enterprise training, where immersive and hands-free interaction makes a real difference.
Ajna Lens isn’t just playing with cool tech—they’re solving real problems with it.
Lenskart is best known for stylish and affordable eyewear. But lately, it’s been exploring new territory. In December 2024, the company launched Phonic, its first pair of audio smart glasses. That was Lenskart’s first step into smart wearables—and now, they’re going all in.
“This investment marks the next chapter in our smart glasses journey,” said Peyush Bansal, Lenskart’s co-founder and CEO. “As the smart glasses category scales rapidly, our partnership with Ajna Lens strategically positions us to accelerate product innovation in this space.”
In short: Lenskart wants to help build the future of eyewear—and be first to market with truly usable smart glasses.
Here’s what makes this collaboration exciting: Ajna Lens brings the tech expertise, and Lenskart brings the design, manufacturing, and retail power. That means you can expect glasses that:
The goal is to make smart glasses that aren’t just impressive in a lab demo, but are truly useful in real life.
While no official product has been announced yet, here’s what’s likely coming based on Ajna’s technology and Lenskart’s vision:
And most importantly, all of this tech will be packed into frames that look just like your favorite pair of glasses.
Smart glasses are no longer just an idea—they’re the next big category in wearable tech. Companies like Apple, Meta, and Google are investing heavily in AR and XR devices. Lenskart and Ajna Lens are taking a homegrown Indian approach, focused on:
This isn’t just a high-end gadget for techies—it’s a product being built for the mainstream.

…Lenskart has the tools to bring smart glasses to millions quickly and efficiently. And by joining hands with Ajna Lens, they now also have the advanced tech needed to do it right.
Most smart glasses today either focus too much on functionality (and end up bulky and ugly) or too much on style (and miss out on features). Lenskart and Ajna Lens want to hit the sweet spot—creating smart glasses that are:
In essence, they want to create glasses that do more than help you see better—they help you live smarter.
This collaboration is a big deal for the Indian tech ecosystem. Here’s why:
With an IPO coming soon, Lenskart’s smart glasses push could also be a key selling point to investors and customers alike.
As of now, there’s no official release date. But considering the investment and direction, early prototypes or product announcements could surface within the next 12–18 months. Expect Lenskart to start teasing new features or pilot launches soon—especially as buzz builds around their IPO.
The partnership between Lenskart and Ajna Lens isn’t just about eyewear—it’s about changing the way we interact with technology in our daily lives. Imagine checking your calendar, navigating to a meeting, getting health updates, or even learning a new skill—all from a sleek pair of glasses.
This could be the next step in how we wear, use, and experience technology. With smart glasses on the rise and the right partners in place, Lenskart and Ajna Lens might just lead the way.
