A book about Blinkit, now on Blinkit. I have no idea how @albinder finds time for writing books alongside all that he has to do, but this is an excellent read about the challenges of starting up, building, breaking, and rebuilding for retail in India. A few hundred signed copies available on Blinkit.

Just crossed 100k applications for the 100 introductory Temple devices. To the 100 who get one: you're the founding cohort. We'll be grateful for what you teach us. To the rest: we're building as fast as we can without compromising what @temple needs to be. Follow @temple for updates.

Heart Rate is just one of the simpler things. Temple sees more. Follow @temple for more updates.

Yesterday, a small prototype aircraft of a brand new design from LAT Aerospace crashed into a wheat field near Saifai during a ground roll test. Strong winds caused loss of control, and immediate crash. We’ve reached out to the farmer whose crop was damaged and have already ensured full compensation for their loss. We’re early in development. Crashes are part of building aircraft. We’ll learn from this, tighten our test protocols, and keep going.

We just completed a successful flight for our tech demonstrator, Lat One v0.2. Lat Aerospace is building ultra-short takeoff and landing aircraft using blown wing technology. Think fixed-wing performance with near-helicopter access. A couple of months ago, v0.1 achieved uSTOL but crashed shortly after. That was expected. v0.2 was about completing the full mission, and it did. The blown wing concept worked in reality. Closed-loop control got validated. We'd predicted a cruise speed of 30-32 m/s and cruised comfortably at 33. No thermal issues despite a burning afternoon. The quick-detach wings held through aggressive turns. Was in the air for over 6 minutes. Smooth touchdown, and ready to fly again. But the thing that makes me the happiest isn't any of that. It's that our CFD studies, aerodynamic models, SIL simulations, and flight logs all match, almost perfectly. That's what real engineering looks like. I am so proud of our team. A long way to go, and we are getting there. @lataerospace @surobhidas

Temple has raised its first round. Friends and family. $54m. Post-money valuation of ~$190m. Every investor in this round is a founder friend or early-stage Zomato investor who wanted in, whether or not Temple ever makes it to market. But here's what gives me goosebumps – more than 30 Temple employees participated in the round, at par valuation. No discount. Their own money. That's the kind of belief you can't buy. We are assembling a dream team to build the ultimate wearable for elite performance athletes. Want in? Look up my last post.

We're recruiting at @temple. At Temple, we are building the ultimate wearable for elite performance athletes. A device that measures what no other wearable in the world measures, with a level of precision that doesn't exist yet. To build it, we need people who are obsessive about both the craft and the category. Engineers who are also athletes. People who will wear what they build, and hate it until it's perfect. Roles we're hiring for: 🟠 Analog Systems Engineers, Electronics Design Engineers 🟠 Embedded Systems Engineers — low-level HW bring-up, embedded signal and image processing, embedded AI 🟠 Design and Validation Engineers — sensors, actuators, battery, antenna, optics 🟠 CMF Engineers, Adhesive Materials Engineers 🟠 Sensor Algorithms Engineers — estimation theory, sensor fusion 🟠 Deep Learning Engineers — ML model development for physiological metrics 🟠 Computational Neuroscientists 🟠 BCI Engineers — real-time EEG/EMG acquisition and processing 🟠 Neural Decoding Researchers — brain activity to semantic mapping 🟠 Computer Vision Engineers — facial microexpression, subvocal muscle detection 🟠 Neuroimaging ML Engineers — multimodal sensor fusion 🟠 Last but not the least, product managers who work through Figma without needing a designer to hold their hand Important – we are building for people who push their bodies to the edge. We want to be those people, not just serve them. So only people who take fitness seriously, and have body fat <16% (men) and 26% (women) should apply. If you're not there yet but will commit to getting there in three months, you can apply too; but you'll be on probation until you are. Write to build@temple.com with your core skill as the subject line. Come find your tribe.

LAT Aerospace has acquired Sharang Shakti, an early-stage defence robotics startup based in Gurgaon. This is our first move toward building indigenous defence capabilities alongside our long-term mission of developing next-generation civil aviation platforms from India. Civil aviation and defence are often viewed as separate sectors. But the core technology stack is shared across autonomy, perception, sensing, navigation, guidance, and control systems. By bringing Sharang Shakti into LAT, we are building these capabilities in-house, from first principles, with the intent to deploy them across both defence and civil programs over time. Slowly but surely.

A quick update on back@eternal.com Over the last week, we received over 8,000 emails. About 4,000 from people who have been part of the Eternal journey at some point. Rest from people who haven't worked here but want to. Thank you so much for this. I didn't expect this at all. Most of these emails are stories, and are full of emotions and honesty. There's a lot of context and history in them. And a lot of our current team has no context on people who left five, ten, fifteen years ago. Eternal is in its late teens right now. The only person who can truly read these emails and know who to respond to is me. And it is not humanly possible for me to read through 8,000 emails, and pick and choose the right ones to respond to, quickly. We are still going through every single one. It will take time. But if you worked with me directly, and you wrote in, and you are waiting for a reply, here is what will work quickly: find my number and WhatsApp me. Looking forward to reconnect :)

If you used to work at Zomato, whether you chose to move on, or I was the one who asked you to leave, this is for you. I know that for many of you, Zomato didn't have the environment, or the leadership you needed at the time. But I know for sure, that you loved being at Zomato, and it is quite possible that you never felt like home anywhere else since you left. We have over four hundred people at Eternal today in their second or third stints. Many of them are doing their best work now. Maybe because they've grown, but also because the company has grown. We are more organised, a little less chaotic, and hopefully, I've learned a few things along the way too. If you haven't reached out because you think the door is closed, or because you think I'm holding onto the past, I'm not. I want you back. There is so much to build at Eternal. We are today, a family of companies. Zomato, Blinkit Quick-Commerce, Blinkit Ambulances, District, Hyperpure, Nugget, and Feeding India. We need people who already know what good looks like here, and who care enough to fight for it. There is no better person for that than someone who has been here, left, grown, and wants to come back. You might say that Eternal is not going to be the same, because I am not the CEO anymore. But ask yourself a question. Did titles ever matter at Eternal? I am still very much here, and I'd love for you to be a part of this next phase of Eternal. If you feel like you have unfinished business here, please don't overthink it. Write to me at back@eternal.com. The Gurgaon pollution is still a bug, but being at Eternal is the feature. Let's talk and find a role that fits your life as it is today.

An important update on leadership changes at Eternal.

Hello everyone, here are the highlights from the last quarter (full report here: drive.google.com/file/d/1iSz…) – - Blinkit turned Adjusted EBITDA positive for the first time on a quarterly basis - B2C GOV grew 55% YoY (11% QoQ) - Blinkit NOV grew 121% YoY - Zomato Adjusted EBITDA margin reached an all time high of 5.4% (INR 531 Cr) - Zomato NOV growth recovery continues at 16.6% YoY - Hyperpure turned Adjusted EBITDA margin positive for the first time, delivering INR 1Cr - District NOV grew 20% YoY That’s all for now. We appreciate the continued support of our customers, delivery partners, business partners, policy makers and team members as we progress on our journey. If there’s anything we can do better, we are always listening. Please feel free to share any questions or feedback at shareholders@eternal.com.

Gentle reminder to all the concerned doctors and/or influencers We haven’t made any public commercial announcements about Temple yet. We haven’t released any official device benchmarking data. A lot of the work is still underway; we’re months away from introducing preview devices to the public, if at all. You are advising people not to buy an “unvalidated” device that isn’t even available to order or pre-order yet. That’s funny, tbh. We will share all the science if and when we decide to sell Temple. You can judge and give all your advice at that moment. Until then, be curious, and cheer Indian startups? Your skepticism is valuable, but at the right time.

Here’s the why behind LAT Aerospace. — Follow @lataerospace for future updates.

Video of Lat One v0.1 test flight. uSTOL achieved. Achievement unlocked 🛫 The plane crashed a bit later, which we knew was going to happen, and our simulations had already suggested so, due to structural defects. However, the main objective of the test flight was to test uSTOL, which was successfully demonstrated. We are already building Lat One v0.2, which should hopefully complete a mission. Making a plane take off is only 20% of the problem. Making it land safely is where the work lies. Overall, we learnt so much from this entire experience. We will come out better and stronger from this. — To know why we are so bullish on Lat Aerospace and how it will change the future of our country, tune into my recent podcast with Raj Shamani And follow @lataerospace for future updates.
