Zomato founder says Temple wearable targets global market, expects under 1% sales from India
Deepinder Goyal clarified that the Temple fitness and AI wearable is designed for worldwide consumers, with India projected to account for less than 1% of sales, and emphasized that the device makes no medical claims.
Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal said the Temple wearable is intended for the global market rather than Indian consumers, noting that the company does not expect more than 1% of sales to come from India. In a post on X, he responded to criticism over the device’s price, scientific claims and intended use, saying the pricing reflects the development work invested and that potential buyers could wait for user reviews before deciding.
"Temple is not made for India. It's made for the world," Goyal wrote, adding that the company does not seek nationalist support and aims to compete internationally.
He reiterated that Temple is a fitness and artificial-intelligence device and that no medical claims have been made about its ability to diagnose or prevent disease. Goyal explained that the product’s scientific validation follows a typical research pathway, from white papers and preprints to peer-reviewed studies, and invited consumers to wait for stronger evidence if desired.
The founder also clarified that features such as Brain Flow and Roomdeaf AI are part of the device’s broader capabilities, not its primary focus, and that the company will obtain regulatory clearances where required. He promised a detailed note on how Brain Flow is calculated, its applications and limitations.
