Unstop CEO Declines Temple Wearable After Founder Says It Targets Global Market

Unstop CEO Ankit Aggarwal said he will not purchase Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal’s Temple wearable after Goyal clarified that the AI-powered wellness device is aimed at the global market rather than India. Goyal had earlier defended the device, describing it as a fitness tracker rather than a medical instrument and noting that he spent about $30 million of his own money on its development. He said the device, priced at Rs 85,000, is intended for worldwide consumers, with India expected to account for less than one percent of sales, and pledged independent studies to verify its claimed brain-blood-flow metrics, which doctors have questioned.
