Did Black Mirror Just Get Real? Zomato CEO Teases Launch Of New Mystery Device 'Temple' - But What Is It?

Zomato founder and Eternal CEO Deepinder Goyal has teased the launch of his next big venture, 'Temple', a mysterious new product focused on brain health. Sharing a brief teaser on X, Goyal wrote, "Coming

soon. Follow @temple for more updates."The link on Temple's X account leads to a black webpage displaying the words: "TEMPLE. The future of health starts where no one's looking. Inside your brain. Coming soon."Last month, Goyal had set off speculation around the mysterious project after sharing photos from a Feeding India school visit. In one of the images, a small gold metallic device clipped near his right temple immediately caught the internet's attention. Social media users had reacted to the viral image with references to Infinity Stones, anti-gravity brain sensors, and secret health chips. Joining the fun, Goyal had remarked, "This could very well be the Infinity Stone."

What exactly is Temple?

Goyal had previously described the mystery device 'Temple' as an "experimental device to measure Brain Flow accurately, in real time and continuously," which he said was developed during research related to his Gravity Ageing Hypothesis, something he has extensively elaborated upon on X.The device appears to be a sensor which can be worn around your temple, a region around your brain. The core function appears to be to monitor brain health using cerebral blood flow.While the full details of Temple remain unknown, early hints suggest it could be a wearable, a diagnostic device, or something entirely different that is still tightly under wraps. The cryptic teaser, however, has already ignited intense curiosity and speculation online.

Where does the Gravity Ageing Hypothesis come into picture?

Goyal earlier explained that Temple was developed while researching his much-touted Gravity Ageing Hypothesis."I'm not sharing this as the CEO of Eternal, but as a fellow human, curious enough to follow a strange thread. A thread I can't keep with myself any longer. It's open-source, backed by science, and shared with you as part of our common quest for scientific progress on human longevity. Newton gave us a word for it. Einstein said it bends spacetime. I am saying gravity shortens lifespan," he said last month in a series of posts on X.

Goyal had mentioned that he has been using Temple for a year and believes it could become a significant health tool for the world."Been using it for a year, and I've been feeling that this could shape into an important wearable the world needs. Brain Flow is already well accepted as a biomarker for ageing, longevity, as well as cognition. So, this device is useful and relevant even if the Gravity Ageing Hypothesis turns out to be wrong," he said on LinkedIn.

The buzz and theories around the mystery device continues.
