flag Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal’s new startup Temple requires low body fat for hires, sparking debate over fairness and relevance.

flag Deepinder Goyal, founder of Zomato, is hiring for his new health-tech startup Temple, requiring male applicants to have a body fat percentage under 16% and women under 26%, with those not meeting the standard allowed to apply on probation for three months. flag The company, developing a high-precision wearable for elite athletes, emphasizes physical performance as a core value. flag The announcement on February 27, 2026, sparked widespread debate over the ethics, legality, and fairness of using body fat as a hiring criterion, with critics calling it discriminatory and irrelevant to technical roles, while supporters view it as a commitment to discipline and peak performance. flag The policy applies to engineering, neuroscience, and product roles, though it is unclear if it extends to all positions.
