About Chashma99

Quality eyewear, designed with a New York sensibility, priced for every city.

Chashma99 crafts frames and sunglasses that combine durability, comfort, and fashion — from classic silhouettes to bold, contemporary styles. Every pair is built with premium materials so it holds up to daily wear without giving up on looks.

Our mission is simple: quality vision shouldn't depend on your postal code or your budget. We stock frames and sunglasses from ₹99 to ₹6,999, alongside contact lenses and in-store eye exams — so one store can serve an entire community's eyewear needs.

Eyewear is still an in-person category — people want to try a frame on before they buy it. That's why Chashma99 is built around brick-and-mortar stores staffed by trained, friendly teams, with online convenience layered on top rather than replacing the counter experience.

Why Partner With Us

An underserved market, a scalable playbook.

Tier-2 cities have real demand for stylish, affordable eyewear and very few organised options. Chashma99's model is built to move fast into that gap with low franchisee risk.

01

First-mover in tier-2 cities

We focus on underserved markets with limited premium eyewear options, building a loyal customer base before larger players arrive.

02

Affordable, trendy stock

Frames and sunglasses from ₹99 to ₹6,999 make fashion accessible to budget-conscious shoppers without cutting corners on quality.

03

Free staff training

We train your team in optometry basics and customer service at no charge — a cost many competitors pass on to franchisees.

04

Centralised stock & marketing

We manage product selection and brand marketing centrally, so every store carries best-sellers and consistent messaging.

05

Limited operational liability

Chashma99 handles inventory procurement, centralised marketing, and training — you focus on running a great store.

06

Personalised in-store service

In-store optometric services build trust and long-term relationships with customers — repeat business by design.
