“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,” Goyal, who co-founded what is now Eternal Ltd., wrote on X. “But here's what gives me goosebumps—more than 30 Temple employees participated in the round, at par valuation.
