Goyal’s Temple eyes $500 mn valuation, prices first wearable at around Rs 80,000

I was unable to access the full source article from ET Retail, but based on the headline, Goyal's Temple appears to be launching a premium wearable device priced around Rs 80,000 (approximately $950 USD) as part of a major expansion valued at $500 million. While the specific details about this device aren't available, the announcement raises important questions for health-conscious families about yet another wearable technology entering the market.

What This Means for EMF-Aware Families

Wearable devices—from smartwatches to fitness trackers—have become ubiquitous, but many families concerned about electromagnetic field exposure remain cautious about devices that spend hours directly against the skin. Most wearables use Bluetooth and sometimes cellular connectivity, which emit radiofrequency radiation throughout the day. At this premium price point, it's unclear whether Goyal's Temple device will include any low-EMF design features or connectivity options that allow users to minimize exposure.

For parents already managing EMF exposure in their homes—whether through choices like low-EMF air purifiers or low-EMF hair dryers—adding another close-contact wireless device warrants careful consideration. Unlike household electronics that can be positioned at a distance, wearables maintain constant proximity to the body.

What You Can Do

If you're considering any wearable device, look for products that offer airplane mode or connectivity settings that can be toggled off when continuous tracking isn't needed. Distance remains the most effective form of EMF reduction, so even removing a device during sleep can significantly reduce cumulative exposure. For families serious about creating lower-EMF environments, the principles used in solutions like EMF shielding paint for home construction can extend to being selective about which wireless devices you bring into close body contact.

Until more information becomes available about this specific device's features and wireless connectivity options, health-conscious consumers should ask manufacturers directly about EMF specifications, SAR values, and whether low-power or wired alternatives exist.
