A recent photo of Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal sparked a wave of speculation online. The image showed a tiny device placed on the right side of his forehead. Many wondered if it had anything to do with the “Gravity Aging Hypothesis” that he shared a day later.
Social media users linked the device to his theory on how gravity may affect brain health. Now, Goyal has cleared the air and revealed what the gadget actually does.
Goyal’s Gravity Aging Hypothesis Explained
Two days ago, Goyal published a detailed note on brain health and aging. The 42-year-old CEO wrote, “Science already knows that Brain Flow is highly correlated to age, and an important biomarker for aging.”
He argued that gravity may reduce blood flow to the brain over time. He suggested simple inversion poses — turning the body upside down — to counter this. “Inversions are already popular for lymphatic fluid drainage. We found that inversions are also the most effective way to counteract the negative effects of gravity on our brains,” Goyal said.
According to him, these poses can bring measurable benefits. “Our biggest finding is that six weeks of using inversion tables for >10 minutes every day led to a baseline increase of 7% in our daily average Brain Flow. This possibly nullifies 10 years of loss of Brain Flow with age,” he added.
The Mystery Device Sparks Curiosity
A day before Goyal discussed his hypothesis, a picture surfaced online showing him with a small wearable near his right temple. People immediately linked it to brain-related research. Many social media users assumed it was a gadget that tracks brain blood flow.
One such user, Shubham Mishra, posted the photo on LinkedIn. He suggested that the “inversion” idea might be connected to a new health wearable that measures brain flow. Mishra also proposed a name for the device. He wrote that the gadget or the company making it could be called “Temple” since it sits near the temple area of the head.
Goyal Confirms the Device’s Purpose
Goyal soon responded to the speculation. He confirmed that the small unit attached to his temple was indeed a brain-flow measuring device. He also revealed that this was not new for him. He had actually been using the device for almost a year.
His clarification added more weight to his gravity-related research. It indicated that he had been collecting personal data for months before sharing his hypothesis publicly.
Why the Device Matters?
Goyal’s updates suggest that he is experimenting with new methods to track cognitive health. His claims around improved “Brain Flow” have intensified conversations about longevity, wellness gadgets, and biohacking practices in India.
While many users appreciated the scientific approach, others questioned the idea and looked for more evidence. For now, Goyal has only confirmed that the device monitors brain flow. He has not shared details about the company behind it or whether it will become a consumer product.
