Lenskart is preparing to enter the smart glasses market with a new product called B by Lenskart, an AI-powered wearable expected to launch by the end of 2025. The company says the glasses will combine voice-based AI, camera features, and digital payment support, making them one of the more ambitious consumer tech products to come out of India.
What the smart glasses will offer
The upcoming glasses are expected to run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor, the same chip used in the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Lenskart also says the device will rely on Google Gemini 2.5 to power its AI assistant, which should allow users to interact with the glasses through natural voice commands.
A built-in Sony camera sensor is also part of the package. This would let users capture photos and record videos directly from the glasses without needing to reach for a phone.
Payments, translation, and health tools
One of the most interesting features reported so far is UPI payment support. Users will reportedly be able to scan QR codes through the camera and make payments using systems such as UPI Lite.
The company is also planning features such as:
- live language translation
- health tracking
- AI-based voice assistance
- support for third-party apps
If these features arrive as promised, the glasses could become useful in a variety of everyday situations, from shopping and travel to communication and entertainment.
Open platform for Indian developers
Lenskart has also indicated that it wants to open the platform to Indian app developers. That means companies in sectors like food delivery, fitness, entertainment, and event booking may be able to build apps for the glasses or adapt existing ones for the new device.
Apps from platforms such as Zomato, Swiggy, and BookMyShow could eventually be part of the ecosystem if developer adoption grows.
A new challenger in smart glasses
The AI smart glasses category is already gaining attention globally, especially after Meta’s success with its Ray-Ban Meta lineup. With B by Lenskart, the Indian eyewear brand appears ready to take a serious step into this space and offer a locally developed alternative.
If the product delivers on its promises, it could represent an important moment for India’s wearable-tech industry. Features like AI interaction, camera-based capture, payment integration, and app support could make the glasses practical for daily use rather than just experimental tech.
Final thoughts
B by Lenskart may become one of the most closely watched Indian gadget launches of 2025. It blends eyewear, artificial intelligence, and real-world convenience into one device, and that combination could appeal to users looking for a smarter way to stay connected.
Whether the glasses become a mainstream success will depend on pricing, performance, battery life, and how useful the software feels in everyday use. Still, Lenskart’s move shows that India’s wearable-tech market is beginning to move into a much more advanced phase.
