Pre-orders for Temple, the screenless wearable created by Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal, open this Saturday, November 1, 2026, in India, for the first batch, Batch 01. The small, pill-shaped device sits between the forehead and the ear and promises to measure signals linked to cerebral blood flow — a very different pitch from smartwatches and smart rings, which track steps, heart rate and sleep.
How Temple works, according to reports
The technology, called BrainFlow, uses optical sensors to track variations associated with blood flow in the brain, including signals tied to oxygenation and cognitive load. From those signals, the app generates Entropy, a score from 1 to 250 meant to represent physiological strain — influenced, according to the company, by factors such as sleep, exercise, stress and even caffeine.
It is important to separate promise from proof: the outlets covering the launch stress that Temple is aimed at wellness and research, not medical diagnosis, and that fully independently tested specifications and real-world performance data are still missing. The device should not be treated as a substitute for clinical tests.
Price, colors and delivery
According to early-access invitations reproduced by several Indian outlets, Batch 01 costs Rs 85,000 (about US$ 1,000) and includes lifetime access to the software platform and analytics, plus personal onboarding and a lifetime supply of the Grip adhesives that attach the device to the temple. One caveat: at least one roundup notes the company has not officially confirmed the price — treat the figure as reported, not as an official announcement.
Temple comes in six finishes — True Gold, Rose Gold, Dark Mirror, Real Jade, Deep Blue and Purple Funk — and each unit is handmade to order: delivery is expected within three months of purchase, meaning early 2027 for November buyers. The charging pod reportedly holds up to 25 days of charge.
