Facebook Ran Pre-REVENUE for 5-6 years ‼️ Meaning, for 5-6 years they didn't sell anything to their customers and made 0 sales. How ? Funding. But why? Because It was creating a category from scratch and was revolutionary back then. It was backed by many VCs having 100s of Millions. It had many funding rounds. In many rounds it was facing losses but now it's one of the most valuable companies and is profitable. This is how the system works. I guess same is going up with lenskart. Many similarities are there between them tho.

It’s impressive how a visionary idea with strong funding can eventually become highly valuable and profitable, as seen with Facebook and potentially Lenskart.

I don't think that there is any connection between Lenskart and Facebook. Lenskart is basically organising optical business and that was existing from decades. Facebook was different, and tbh they could have earning from very next day through membership and ads. They just didn't did that to attract users.
