Hindus across India are visiting Lenskart eyewear stores and applying tilak (a religious mark) to employees in protest. The action follows the circulation of a document claiming the company's dress code allowed hijabs and turbans but prohibited bindis and tilaks. The viral campaign has drawn attention to allegations of religious bias in corporate policies. The company has not yet issued a public statement addressing the specific claims or the ongoing protests.
