Peyush Bansal calls policy banning tilak, bindi at Lenskart 'inaccurate', gets fact-checked
short by Ashley Paul / on Thursday, 16 April, 2026
Lenskart CEO Peyush Bansal responded to outrage after a Lenskart style guide showed the startup barring employees from wearing tilak and bindi at work while allowing hijab and turban. Calling the document "inaccurate", Bansal said, "Our grooming policy has evolved over the years." His X post soon got fact-checked, with a Community Note claiming no updated policy document was released.
