An online opinion poll conducted by The Youth suggests that over 91% of respondents support a boycott of Lenskart following a recent controversy over alleged discriminatory guidelines. The issue has sparked a strong reaction on social media and triggered a wider debate about corporate responsibility and cultural sensitivity.
The controversy began when a document, described as an internal “grooming guide,” went viral online. The document allegedly suggested restrictions on certain religious symbols such as bindi and tilak, while allowing other forms of expression. This led to accusations of discrimination and unfair treatment of employees based on their beliefs.
Many users on social media expressed anger, calling the guidelines biased and insensitive. As a result, boycott calls quickly started trending online. Reports indicate that the backlash was strong enough to impact the company’s public image and even investor sentiment.
In response, Lenskart clarified that the controversial document was either outdated or misinterpreted. The company’s CEO stated that the brand does not support any form of discrimination and respects all religions. Soon after, Lenskart revised its policy, clearly allowing employees to wear religious and cultural symbols, and issued an apology for any hurt caused.
Despite these clarifications, public opinion remains divided. While some people believe the company acted responsibly by correcting its mistake, others continue to question its intent.
The Youth’s opinion poll reflects this dissatisfaction, with a large majority supporting a boycott.
