Specscart Founder Sid Sethi Makes It to Forbes 30 Under 30 List for 2024

Manchester, UK - April 23, 2024 - Sid Sethi, the founder of Specscart, has been named on the esteemed Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list in the Retail and E-commerce category. Forbes releases this list each year to recognise individuals who bring transformation to a specific industry or domain. The man behind the Manchester-based revolutionary eyewear startup, Sid Sethi earned his spot on the list for bringing innovative disruption to the eyewear industry.

Sid started Specscart with a mission to change the way people perceive eyeglasses- from being a mere instrument of sight correction to a sustainably-made fashion accessory, that is a true joy to wear. Sid didn't have a background in the optical industry, but he was more into innovation and business. He challenged the monopolistic eyewear industry, with his solution-oriented approach to bring transformation within the industry.

Specscart is transforming the eyewear industry by prioritising affordability, convenience, and transparency. They offer competitive prices on glasses and sunglasses (70% less than the high street), along with a try-at-home service to ensure you love your pair before you buy. Their free 24-hour dispatch(https://specscart.co.uk/dispatch) on prescription glasses and free shipping on all orders make the process even more convenient. Finally, Specscart sets itself apart with transparent pricing that includes anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch and impact-resistant lenses at no additional cost.

Over the past six years, Specscart(https://specscart.co.uk) expanded to three smart retail stores in Manchester and also operates a state-of-the-art glazing lab in Bury. They've delivered glasses to 120 countries around the world already with a projected revenue of £5 million for 2024.

Sid's vision and hard work have paid off! Specscart's success story led him to represent North-West Retail Businesses in the UK Parliament in 2023. This wasn't his only recognition. Sid has also been racking up awards year after year. He won the Albert Gubay Awards in 2017 and the Venture Further Awards in 2018. In 2023, he even served on the judging panel for the Venture Further Awards.

When we asked Sid about his latest achievement he said, "Being named on this year's Forbes 30 under 30 Europe list is like winning the National Lottery, an Oscar and the Premier League all in one day. It might be my name on the list but Specscart wouldn't be flourishing as it is now without the dedication and hard work of everyone who works here - from back-office staff and our lab technicians to our tech team and sales assistants. This is a well-earned pat on the back for all of them too."

Sid's innovative approach to promoting made-in-UK eyewear options that meet the highest quality standards and affordability makes him the biggest challenger in the eyewear industry of the 21st century. Amongst the flood of nominations from Europe, it was Sid's success story that impressed the Forbes judging panel and got him one of the biggest recognitions that every individual dreams of.
