The next wave of tech advancement is not only AI, it is the boom of smart-wearables. While you might see smart glasses and the Fitbit as some fascinating smart devices, Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal’s brain monitoring chip, Temple, is already becoming the talk of the town. While the device was recently seen on the forehead of Goyal and badminton sensation PV Sindhu, its prices have now surfaced online.
Temple could cost Rs 85,000 for the first batch, according to an early-access email shared on X. The device is designed to track changes in cerebral blood flow, which refers to the movement of blood through the brain. The first batch will be available for pre-orders starting November 1, 2026, while selected users have already received invitations to place their orders early.
The email also suggests that the first batch will include a lifetime subscription. However, the company has not officially confirmed the wearable’s launch price.
Temple Wearable Price And Subscription
According to an email shared on X by Tharun M, the first batch of Temple will cost Rs 85,000, including a lifetime subscription. The offer is part of an early-access programme for a limited number of users who can order the device before pre-orders open to everyone.
The selected users have been asked to download the Temple app and sign in using the email address that received the invitation. The company has also indicated that the number of devices available in the first batch will be limited. Since the price comes from an early-access invitation, the final retail price has not yet been officially announced.
Pre-orders for the first batch of Temple are scheduled to open on November 1, 2026. However, users who have received early-access invitations can place their orders before the public pre-order window begins. The company has said that the first batch will have limited availability, with every unit handmade to order. Interested buyers will need to use the Temple app to access the ordering process.
Deepinder Goyal has also revealed six colour options for the wearable: True Gold, Rose Gold, Black Mirror, Real Jade, Deep Blue and Purple Funk. According to the early-access information, Real Jade, Deep Blue and Purple Funk will be available as limited-edition colours.
What is Deepinder Goyal’s Temple wearable?
Temple is a wearable device designed to monitor changes in cerebral blood flow. Unlike conventional smartwatches and fitness bands, which generally track metrics such as heart rate, physical activity and sleep, Temple focuses on changes associated with blood flow to the brain.
The company calls its underlying technology BrainFlow. The device sits on the side of the head, between the forehead and the ear. It attaches to the skin using single-use adhesive strips called Grips. Temple is designed to collect physiological data that could help users understand how their bodies respond to everyday activities and changes in their routines.
Temple uses optical sensors to measure changes associated with cerebral blood flow. The device also generates an entropy score ranging from 1 to 250, which is intended to indicate the level of physiological strain on the body.
Several factors, including sleep, exercise, stress and caffeine consumption, may influence this score. The wearable also explores how posture and gravity can affect blood flow to the brain.
The device is intended for wellness and research purposes, rather than medical diagnosis. Its measurements should therefore not be treated as a substitute for professional medical advice or clinical testing.
