What Is Temple?
Temple is a wearable brain-monitoring device from Zomato and Eternal founder Deepinder Goyal. It tracks blood flow and oxygenation inside the brain, and the small, bean-shaped sensor is worn near the temple, which is where it gets its name. Goyal has described it as a wellness product, not a medical device, and has said it is aimed at athletes, founders, doctors, creators and other high-performance users.

The Colour Tease
According to the Economic Times headline, Goyal has teased six colours for Temple, and pre-orders may open next week. I couldn’t open the full article, so I can’t tell you what the colours are or how the pre-order process will work. Check the original report before publishing any specifics. A choice of colours does suggest the device is moving from experiment toward a finished consumer product, since people wear this on their face and design matters.
How We Got Here?
Temple’s journey has been gradual. In May, Goyal announced that the first 100 devices were ready for select founding users. In August, he said the latest version was less than half the size of earlier ones, calling it the smallest wearable on the market by volume. He also said the limited launch edition would ship before the end of 2026 and asked interested buyers to join the mailing list. Pricing had not been revealed at the time, and I haven’t found confirmation of it since.
Why It’s Getting Attention?
Most wearables estimate effort indirectly, usually through heart rate. Temple is being built to look at the brain’s blood flow more directly, which is a bold claim in a crowded market. Goyal has also said he is not building it for everybody, so expect a premium, limited-run product instead of a mass-market gadget. Those claims will need independent validation, so it is wise to treat the performance promises with healthy curiosity until real-world reviews arrive.
