Weeks after stepping down from Zomato, Deepinder Goyal launched Temple, raising $54 million at a $190 million valuation. The startup develops a wearable tracking cerebral blood flow for athletes. Investors include Steadview, InfoEdge, and angel backers like Vijay Shekhar Sharma and Kunal Shah.
Temple plans major hires in neuroscience, embedded systems, and brain-computer interfaces. The device aims to provide metrics beyond existing wearables, entering a competitive market with Whoop, Oura, and Garmin.
This reflects Goyal’s shift toward high-risk, health-tech ventures, following previous investments in longevity and performance startups.
