Deepinder Goyal explains why he left Zomato parent Eternal to launch Temple

Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal has outlined his reasons for leaving Eternal, the roughly $35 billion company he started 18 years ago, to build a new venture called Temple. In a vision note, he says a health wearable he developed as a weekend project while still serving as CEO led to an engineering breakthrough that drew him away. Goyal also addressed criticism from Indian doctors who questioned Temple's health claims, responding publicly on X. He disclosed that he has personally invested $20 million of his own money into the company.
