Deepinder Goyal Shifts Focus to Health Tech and Aerospace After Zomato

Deepinder Goyal is pursuing new businesses in health technology and aviation after stepping down as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Eternal Ltd. in February, as per The Economic Times report.  

The ventures sit outside Eternal, the company behind Zomato, Blinkit, and District. One project involves a wearable health device, while the other is focused on regional air transport. 

Wearable Targets Metabolic Monitoring 

The health technology venture is developing a wearable device called Temple, which Goyal said could be introduced within six months to a year. The bean-shaped device is worn on the side of the forehead and is expected to be launched as a wellness product. 

According to Goyal, the device measures metabolic activity directly rather than estimating it through heart rate. He said the project started as research into cerebral blood flow before the team identified a biomarker they call "entropy".  

The company says the readings may reflect changes linked to sleep, stress, recovery, exercise and meditation. The technology has not been independently validated, and the device has not yet completed the required medical regulatory process. Temple is expected to be priced at around $1,000. 

Regional Aviation Project 

Alongside the wearable business, Goyal has invested $20 million of his personal capital in LAT Aerospace, according to an earlier report by The Economic Times. The startup is developing aircraft capable of short take-offs and landings, with seating for up to eight passengers. 

The plan is to connect smaller towns and cities using existing airstrips instead of relying on major airports. Goyal has said the project involves significant engineering, infrastructure and regulatory challenges, and remains at an early stage of development. 

Evolution of the Business 

Goyal Co-Founded Foodiebay as a restaurant discovery platform before it was renamed Zomato in 2010. The company later expanded into food delivery and was listed in 2021.  

It acquired Grofers in 2022, with the business later rebranded as Blinkit. The parent company adopted the name Eternal last year.  

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Goyal's net worth is estimated at $1.3 billion, largely through his shareholding in Eternal.
