Zomato parent company Eternal’s Founder and CEO, Deepinder Goyal, has unveiled ‘Temple’, an experimental wearable designed to monitor brain blood flow in real time. Goyal revealed he has been testing the device for a year while researching his ‘Gravity Ageing Hypothesis’.

Founder and CEO of Zomato’s parent company, Eternal, Deepinder Goyal, on Sunday shared a first look at his new product. The teaser that unveiled the latest smart wearable device briefed about a brain blood flow monitoring device called ‘Temple’.
Deepinder Goyal posted a short teaser on Instagram with the caption “Getting there,” giving users a glimpse of the small wearable gadget, reported by IANS.
The device has sparked curiosity ever since Goyal was seen wearing a tiny golden sensor on the right side of his forehead. While many users wondered what it was, the Zomato CEO explained its purpose in an earlier LinkedIn post.
Goyal, while briefing about the latest smart wearable, said that “Temple is an ‘experimental device’ designed to measure brain blood flow accurately, in real time, and on a continuous basis,” as per IANS.

The Zomato CEO further said the device was created while he was researching his recently discussed ‘Gravity Ageing Hypothesis’.
Last month, Deepinder Goyal also shared a series of posts outlining this “scientific yet unconventional” idea. He further suggested that gravity could directly affect how humans age and how this device can be a revolution in the smart wearable segment.
While talking about ‘Temple’, Deepinder shared the theory not as a CEO but as someone curious enough to follow a strange scientific path.
He noted that while Newton defined gravity and Einstein described how it bends spacetime, he believes gravity may also shorten human lifespan.
Goyal said that he is studying connections between three factors:
How standing upright slightly reduces blood flow to the brain, how sensitive certain brain regions like the hypothalamus and brainstem are to small changes in circulation, and how these regions control the ageing process.
According to Deepinder Goyal, these links could open a new understanding of how ageing works.
Deepinder Goyal revealed that, “I have been using the Temple device for a year and feel it has the potential to become an important global health tool,” as cited by news agency IANS.
Goyal further pointed out that brain blood flow is already considered a key biomarker for ageing, longevity and cognitive health.
He also added that, “Because of that, I believe Temple remains useful even if his gravity-based ageing theory proves incorrect,” as per IANS.
Goyal, while denying intentions of promoting the device, said that, “Addressing speculation that the hypothesis was simply a strategy to promote the device.”
He added, “Temple would be a ‘small, cute company’ compared to Eternal,” and made it clear that he would never risk customers’ trust for marketing.
