The ₹1,600 Crore Magic Trick – How Peyush Bansal Turned Paper into gold in 90 Days”
Three months. One man. A ₹1,600 crore profit. What if India’s hottest eyewear brand pulled off the most dazzling financial illusion of the decade?
It sounds like a bollywood script — except it’s playing out in India’s financial markets.
In July 2024, Lenskart’s founder Peyush Bansal quietly bought back 4.26 crore shares from old investors, valuing his company at ₹8,700 crore. Fast forward just three months, and that same company is being pitched for an IPO at ₹70,000 crore.
That’s an eightfold leap — in less than a single financial quarter.
And the numbers? They don’t just raise eyebrows. They explode them.
By that math, Bansal’s personal stake just ballooned by ₹1,600 crore — without inventing a new product, acquiring a giant, or unveiling a global expansion.
So what happened in those 90 days?
Did the eyewear market suddenly become more profitable than AI? Did every indian start buying glasses every week?
Or did something else — something unseen and insider-driven — change behind the curtain?
Critics are already asking whether SEBI has been sleeping or silently blessing one of the biggest overnight paper profits in startup history. Some call it “founder foresight.” Others whisper “valuation laundering.”
If Bansal’s timing was mere coincidence, it’s the kind of miracle that makes ordinary investors question everything. If not, it exposes how startup IPOs are quietly engineered — not earned.
Because when founders buy low from old investors — only to go public at dizzying highs — it isn’t just a business win. It’s a strategic power play that turns information asymmetry into gold.
In the end, the message to the indian startup ecosystem is clear:
Those with access, data, and timing can rewrite fortune itself — while retail investors are left reading headlines and wondering how magic really works.
