Deepinder Goyal defends Temple wearable amid doctor criticism
· Technology · India Today, Times of India
Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal has strongly rebutted doctors calling his Rs 85,000 Temple brain-monitoring wearable a scam, asserting the device's science will withstand scrutiny. He revealed he has invested $20 million of his own money into the project, which has cost $30 million to develop overall, with most of the latest funding round raised from customers. Goyal highlighted the product's 14-day no-questions-asked return policy and stated employees had invested in earlier funding rounds. The controversy stems from scepticism among medical professionals regarding the technology underpinning the launch-focused wearable.
