    The optical retail market in India is growing rapidly, projected to more than double to Rs. 1.2 trillion by 2023 from Rs. 500 billion currently. Major players in the industry include Himalaya Optical, founded in 1980 with over 300 stores nationwide, and Titan Eye Plus, launched in 2005 as part of Titan Industries and offering a wide range of stylish eyewear through exclusive optical stores. These two chains were chosen for study due to their market leadership, Himalaya as the pioneering brand in eyewear for decades, and Titan for seeking to set new quality standards for customer experience in India's fragmented optical retail segment.
