Lyngdoh’s mandate at Lenskart will be to steer the organisation to an environment where it can build a culture of its own. Besides, he will be responsible for beefing up the leadership team, creating an engaging workforce, and also introduce innovative practices.

After passing out from XLRI in 1999, Lyngdoh joined Rediff.com, where spent a good three years. In 2002, he moved to Cadbury India as manager – frontline HR. Two and a half years later, he moved to Nokia as HR account manager. It’s here, he moved up the ranks, first as Head – development, leadership & talent, India and finally as head HR in 2010.
