Ashish Kale 🇮🇳

We have heard you. Clearly and openly. Over the past few days, our community and customers have spoken - and we have listened. Today, we are standardizing our In-Store Style Guide and sharing it publicly and transparently: lenskart.com/style-guide-le… These guidelines explicitly and unambiguously welcome every symbol of faith and culture our team members carry - bindi, tilak, sindoor, kalawa, mangalsutra, kada, hijab, turban, and more. Not as exceptions. As who we are. Lenskart was built in Bharat, by Indians, for Indians. Our 2400+ stores are run by people who bring their beliefs, their traditions, their identity to work every day. That is not something we will ever ask anyone to leave at the door. If any version of our workplace communication caused hurt or made any of our team members feel that their faith was unwelcome here, we are deeply sorry. That is not who Lenskart is, and it is not who we will ever be. We make a commitment today - not just in words, but in the document we are publishing - that every policy, every training material, and every communication that carries the Lenskart name will reflect these values. We remain committed to applying these guidelines fairly and consistently, and will continue to review and improve our processes. We will do better. And we will keep earning your trust. 🙏 -Team Lenskart

The tragedy in Chhattisgarh is deeply painful. 20 families have lost everything. Proper compensation, livelihood support for the families, and a thorough investigation are non-negotiable. But naming Shri @AnilAgarwal_Ved Ji in the FIR before any investigation raises serious concerns. He is a self-made man from a humble and backward community background who built a global enterprise from scratch. He had no role in that plant's operations. When accidents happen in PSU plants or Railways, do we name the Chairman? We do not. The same standard must apply to the private sector too. Investigate first. Establish responsibility based on evidence. Then act. India's #ViksitBharat vision needs people like Shri Anil Agarwal to keep investing and building. That happens only when investors trust the system. 🇮🇳

Chitale Bandhu: Taking the Taste of Maharashtra to the World Stage Inaugurated and unveiled the stone plaque of 'Chitale Bandhu Vision Park' in Pune today. Chitale Bandhu carries a strong legacy built over generations and now exports its products to 35 countries. Four generations have not only sustained the business but have also continuously expanded it. Today, they are moving forward with confidence to grow as a global brand. Food is a significant soft power, and every part of India has a rich cuisine. Chitale Bandhu has brought Maharashtra's tradition to the world through its wide range of products while maintaining a strong focus on purity and cleanliness. The viewing gallery reflects transparency, allowing students, distributors, and visitors to see how the products are made and experience the process. It is also commendable to see the factory's use of renewable energy. Chitale Bandhu is playing a key role in taking Indian food to the world and building a strong identity for Maharashtrian cuisine across countries. The Government of Maharashtra remains committed to supporting such food industries, helping them grow further and share the taste of Maharashtra far and wide. Minister Chandrakant Dada Patil, MLA Bhimrao (Anna) Tapkir, MLA Siddharth Shirole, Indraneel Chitale, Managing Partner at Chitale Bandhu and other dignitaries were present. @ChDadaPatil @BhimraoTapkir @SidShirole @cIndraneel #Maharashtra #ChitaleBandhu #Pune

Meet Praful Hinge from Jaripatka Nagpur. It's the slum area of Nagpur. His father works as rickshaw puller earning just Rs. 100 per day. His mother used to work as domestic help. His elder brother sacrificed his studies so that Praful could pursue his cricketing career. Today he became the only bowler in 19 year of IPL History to take 3 wickets in opening over. God is with people who work hard. #IPL2026 #SRHvsRR #PrafulHinge
