OUR FOUNDER

Late Shri S L Kumar
In 1978, when the Indian eye care industry was in its infancy, the Late Mr. S.L. Kumar, founding editor of The Indian Optician, a bi-monthly publication devoted to ophthalmic optics, decided to organize and host an optical exhibition. The goal of The Indian Optician was to unify and support India's eye care industry by providing its members with latest knowledge on ocular health; an ophthalmic optics exhibition was the next step towards realizing that vision. Launched under the banner INDOPTICA (now In-Optics), it soon became one the most respected shows in the world, and has been indispensible to the growth of India's eye care industry and our position in the global market.
