Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal has defended the price of his new wearable device after facing backlash from consumers who say it is too expensive.
Zomato co‑founder Deepinder Goyal took to social media to defend the price of his latest wearable device after a wave of criticism from consumers.
The device, which was launched last month, has been described by some reviewers as “not made for India” because of its premium price tag.
Goyal explained that the product incorporates advanced technology and premium materials, which justify the cost. He also highlighted that the device offers features tailored to health and fitness tracking.
Despite the backlash, the company has not announced any price cuts and says it will continue to focus on innovation.
Industry analysts note that the move reflects a broader trend of Indian tech firms entering the high‑end wearable market, though pricing remains a key hurdle.
