Lenskart apologises after online backlash, releases new style guide welcoming religious symbols
Eyewear retailer Lenskart has issued a public apology and released a revised “In-Store Style Guide” after facing online backlash over a viral alleged grooming policy that was criticized for restricting religious symbols. The company clarified that the earlier document was outdated and does not reflect its current guidelines, emphasizing that employees are free to wear symbols of faith such as bindis, tilaks, sindoor, kalawa, mangalsutra, kada, hijab, and turbans.
