Soha Ali Khan has become the latest name to make waves on social media not for a film announcement or a glamorous appearance but for her unexpected take on a financial topic. The actress is trending after sharing her views on Lenskart Solutions, the eyewear retailer that recently opened its initial public offering (IPO) for public subscription to raise Rs 7,278 crore.
The company’s IPO opened on October 31 and closes on November 4with a price band set between Rs 382 and Rs 402 per share.
While the offering already had investors talking, it was Soha’s detailed Instagram post explaining whether one should invest in this one that caught everyone’s attention.
Soha Ali Khan Breaks Down The Buzz Around Lenskart IPO
In her post, Soha began with, “Okay, so apart from the rain, everyone is talking about the Lenskart IPO. Yes, that very cool glasses and lenses brand and some of you may want to invest.”
She then decided to simplify the concept for her followers. “I want to quickly break down this investment opportunity,” she said before explaining, “An IPO or initial public offering is when a private company sells its shares to the public for the first time. Basically, it’s saying, ‘Hey, now you can own a tiny piece of our company.’ And in the case of Lenskart, you can buy a share and not just their glasses.”
Adding that the brand has created a lot of excitement, Soha continued, “So the buzz is huge and yes, it is backed by big investors.” She went on to list both the positives and negatives of investing in the company.
Talking about the pros, she said, “Strong brand presence, consistent growth and early opportunity.” On the other hand, she highlighted that, “The IPO is expensive compared to the current profits. Some of the money is actually going to existing investors who are looking to cash out and like any investment, it is not a guaranteed win.”
“So, is it good or bad? Well, that really depends on you. If you believe in the brand long term, then great. But if you’re hoping to get rich by next Friday, then maybe have another think. Because what I have learnt is always read, research and invest wisely, and not just because everyone else is doing it,” Soha concluded.
In her caption, Soha wrote, “The buzz around the Lenskart IPO has everyone talking but do we really understand what an IPO is and why it matters? Financial literacy isn’t just about saving or investing, it’s about making informed choices when opportunities like these arise.”
