Six months ago, this felt impossible. Last week, we made it happen.
@PcbCupid was in 4 states, doing 4 different hardware things:
Hardware Residency — Telangana
Hardware Hackathon — Tamil Nadu
Hardware Workshop — Karnataka
Hardware Showcase — Maharashtra
Missed us? You can join the India's biggest hardware hackathon with 400+ builders on Dec 16 in Coimbatore, TN.

I was scrolling the replies and honestly… wth... some random indie hacker like me ships an app that counts stuff nobody asked for and all of X congratulates him/her like crazy... meanwhile this guy who actually built a food delivery app back when the concept barely existed in India is trying to take the next step and the entire comments section is acting like he personally insulted their family....
people got offended that he said Indians aren't the target audience... cool, it's also mostly true... we still don't pay for subscriptions, we still optimize for free, we still treat "product" like it should come with emotional labor for free. Mentally we're still poor in a lot of ways. He can say that and still be right.
let him try to go global. If he fails, he fails with money on the line... that's still more than most of us have risked... I don't get the need to tear him apart so harshly when it's his head on the block... his claim, his downside... want the thing we can buy the thing and try, otherwise maybe we(me including) should just shut up and watch...
Hello everyone. Happy Diwali!
Thank you for your criticism, your support and your time over the last two days. Gives me much needed clarity on what we need to explain better:
1. Temple is not made for India. It’s made for the world. Please check pricing. We don’t expect any more than 1% of Temples being sold in India.
2. If you are upset that the pricing is too high, I am sorry. There’s a lot of work that went into Temple, and we priced it at what we think it’s worth. If you think its overpriced, you can wait for user reviews to decide if its worth your money.
3. Please do not support us because we are an Indian startup. We want to compete globally. We don’t need/want nationalist support. Support us if you want to support early innovation, which could help you live a better life, and will continue to add more proof to its science over the years.
4. There are different audiences which buy products at various levels of proof. Proof goes from whitepaper -> pre-print -> peer reviewed. You are free to sit on the fence until peer reviewed proof arrives. You are free to not believe it even then. Nobody is forcing you to buy. Making announcements is our right; and if we overclaim anywhere, we will inevitably fall into regulatory trouble everywhere in the world.
5. We didn’t make any medical claim. Doctors primarily see things from a medical lens, so they see every claim as a medical claim. I repeat – Temple is strictly a fitness + AI device, and we've made no medical claims. Temple is not proven to diagnose or prevent any disease. It doesn't do anything which replaces the need for you to see a doctor.
6. The main point of Temple is NOT Brain Flow. That’s what we just started Temple for, and studies on Brain Flow are the first ones getting out.
7. The main point of Temple is Entropy (I shared the HomeScreen of Temple three months ago with Entropy as the main thing). Our emails to our waitlisted users only talk about Entropy. We haven’t published anything on Entropy yet. We will. If you want to buy Temple before that, please do. If you don’t want to, don’t.
8. Roomdeaf AI is an expansion of the device’s capabilities, and our vision for Temple. It is not a pivot.
9. Social media is not the regulator for Temple. Wherever we need regulatory clearances, we will have them before we make any claim needing them.
10. I will post a detailed note on how we calculate Brain Flow, its uses, and most importantly, its limitations in a bit (tomorrow).
