Temple’s funding and business plans

Temple, founded by Goyal, is developing a wearable device designed to monitor cerebral blood flow, or the movement of blood to the brain. The venture emerged from Goyal’s broader interest in longevity research and health monitoring.

In February 2026, Temple raised $54 million (around ₹493 crore) in a funding round at a post-money valuation of approximately $190 million (around ₹1,700 crore). The round included participation from founder-investors, former Zomato backers, institutional investors and employees.

Goyal had also stepped down as chief executive officer of Eternal, the parent company of Zomato and Blinkit, to focus on new ventures involving health technology, longevity research and aerospace.
