Temasek Sells 2% Stake in Lenskart for Around Rs 1,940 Crore
Singapore's sovereign wealth fund Temasek sold a 2% stake in eyewear retailer Lenskart on July 10 through open-market transactions, raising approximately Rs 1,940-1,945 crore and reducing its holding to 4.75% from 6.8%. This follows recent share sales by Abu Dhabi's ADIA and Japan's SoftBank after Lenskart's six-month IPO lock-in expired in May. The transactions reflect significant secondary market activity among major investors since Lenskart's public listing in November 2022.
