Deepinder Goyal and other founders of India’s first consumer internet companies are starting businesses in new sectors. Goyal’s Temple, a neuroscience venture spun out of Continue Research, is testing a device on about 100 volunteers. Investors have committed $54 million, including $11.5 million from Goyal, valuing Temple at $190 million, Business Today reports. He has also co-founded LAT Aerospace, which is developing autonomous hybrid-electric aircraft for regional routes. Aman Gupta is building talent agency OffBeat Studios, while Mukesh Bansal is working on enterprise AI firm Nurix AI. PharmEasy’s co-founders are developing home-improvement platform AllHome. Their moves reflect tougher competition in established consumer internet categories, where scale and consolidation have left less room for new challengers.
