Business
Deepinder Goyal, best known for founding Zomato, is running into doubts as he launches his new health-tech venture, Temple.
Even with an M.Tech. from IIT Delhi, he says people ask if he's really qualified to build a science-focused gadget:

Temple preorders at ₹85,000 crash website
Temple is a wearable device designed to track your brain blood flow and stress levels in real time.
Pre-orders opened on November 1 at ₹85,000, and so many people rushed in that the website briefly crashed.
Goyal quickly reassured everyone on X that orders could still be placed through the app, showing he's determined to make Temple work despite early bumps.
