What is Temple Device? Benefits of Deepinder Goyal’s new health tech initiative.
Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal recently came into limelight for a different reason. The reason was not just his business idea or startup journey, but a small strange device fitted on his face. This incident came to light when Deepinder Goyal appeared in famous podcaster Raj Shamani’s show ‘Figuring Out’. The show was released on 3 January 2026 and went viral in no time.
In the video, many people’s attention was drawn to a silver colored device near Deepinder Goyal’s eye. People started raising questions on social media, what is it, why is it installed and what does it do? Within a short time it became clear that this is not a fashion accessory, but a special health-tech device named Temple.
What is Temple?
Temple is a lightweight, daily wearable experimental device, which is being prepared under a new initiative of Deepinder Goyal. Its purpose is to measure the blood flow in the human brain in real-time. In simple words, this device tries to understand how well the blood is flowing to the brain.
According to Deepinder Goyal, the blood flow of the brain is related to our memory, focus, mental fatigue, stress and aging process. Temple continuously tracks this data so that signals can be received in time.
For whom can it be beneficial?
This device can be especially helpful for students, professionals, elderly and those working on high-performance. This can help in understanding patterns related to focus level, mental fatigue, stress and mental health.
The idea of the temple is also related to a theory of Deepinder Goyal, which he calls ‘Gravity Aging Hypothesis’. He believes that standing upright for a long time and the effect of gravity can gradually reduce blood flow to the brain, which accelerates aging. Temple is an attempt to test this thinking through data.
Deepinder Goyal himself has been using this device for more than a year. He says that it is not easy to stay healthy in today’s fast-paced life, and technology like Temple can play a big role in preventive health in the future.
