"Rookie Mistake": High Demand Crashes Portal For Deepinder Goyal's Rs 85,000 Wearable Device 'Temple'

Deepinder Goyal, the entrepreneur behind Zomato/Eternal, has launched a wearable device called "Temple" priced at Rs 85,000 — and according to NDTV, demand was so high at launch that it crashed the ordering portal. Goyal reportedly described the situation as a "rookie mistake," pointing to how unprepared the infrastructure was for the volume of interest. Beyond that, the available reporting is light on technical specifics about what "Temple" actually measures, tracks, or claims to do.

Here's why this matters to our readers even without full product details: wearables are increasingly marketed as health and wellness tools, and many of them stay in constant contact with your skin while using Bluetooth or wireless radios to sync data. For families already thinking carefully about everyday EMF exposure — from WiFi routers to baby monitors to phones in pockets — a new high-profile wearable is worth watching closely once more technical details emerge. A device worn directly on the body, especially for extended hours, deserves the same scrutiny we'd give any other close-proximity wireless gadget.

What We Don't Know Yet

Because the source article focuses mainly on the demand surge and website crash rather than hardware specifics, we can't yet say whether Temple uses continuous Bluetooth connectivity, how it transmits data, or what its actual radiofrequency profile looks like. If you're EMF-conscious, the sensible approach is to wait for independent teardown reviews or technical specs before deciding whether a device like this fits into a low-exposure lifestyle. Hype and crashed servers tell us about popularity, not about radiation output.

Keeping Your Home Low-EMF While You Wait for Details

In the meantime, it's worth auditing the EMF sources you already know about at home. Many health-conscious households are swapping standard appliances for lower-emission alternatives — for instance, choosing a low-EMF air purifier instead of models with noisy motors and high-field emissions, or switching to a low-EMF hair dryer for a daily routine that keeps a high-powered device close to your head. Some homeowners go further and look into EMF shielding paint for rooms near cell towers or dense WiFi environments.

As more details about Temple surface — including any FCC filings, hardware teardowns, or independent testing — we'll be watching closely and will update our guidance accordingly. For now, treat it the way you'd treat any new wearable: exciting, but worth a second look before it goes on your wrist.
