00:00Temple is backed by scientific data.
00:02Absolutely.
00:03It will be validated?
00:05Absolutely.
00:05And you are sending it to the FDA in India or elsewhere?
00:10We will launch it as a wellness device with peer-reviewed studies and everything.
00:15And we have features coming up which will need it to become a medical device.
00:20So those features, whenever we have them, we will go through the regulatory approvals
00:24and then launch those features.
00:26Is there a timeframe you think it would be ready for the market?
00:30We are not working on a timeline, to be very honest.
00:3424 months? 36 months?
00:37Oh, it's not that long. I mean, I don't have that much patience.
00:4112 months?
00:42Maybe 6 to 12 months.
00:44But I have been saying that for the last 18 months.
00:47So I don't know, right?
00:47So every time I say it's like 6 to 12 months but the deadline keeps getting pushed
00:52because we discover something new, we discover something richer inside the signal
00:56and then we just want to make it perfect before we launch.
00:59Also, now you have LAT Aerospace. What is that about?
01:05LAT Aerospace is, again, a personal project slash passion, okay?
01:11So...
01:12What are you trying to solve?
01:13I'm trying to solve for the hyper-dense cities that we all live in.
01:18There are just too many people and it's just too crowded.
01:22I mean, why do I live here?
01:24The reason why I live here is because we have so many people working here
01:28and I need to be in the office every single day.
01:30But this makes our cities crowded and polluted and so on and so on, right?
01:34And the other thing is that our rural areas don't grow as much
01:39because nobody wants to set up factories there
01:42because it is so hard for CEOs to go there.
01:45De-congest the cities is what I really want to do and sort of distribute wealth
01:50and work more across the country so that all of it develops at the same pace
01:55as the cities are doing.
01:59That's what I want to do.
02:00What would it take for that to be a reality?
02:02It's not just about putting $205 million into that project.
02:08What else needs to be in place for that to be a reality?
02:10I mean, for that to happen, my idea of the answer is that we need
02:17short takeoff and landing planes, eight-seaters, running at super cheap costs.
02:22They don't need to be, like, as...
02:24Super cheap as...?
02:25I mean, as good as trains or maybe, like, twice of trains.
02:29Like, that much, that is the amount of ticket price of these planes.
02:33Like, and you should be able to, like, and take very small air stops
02:37in so many different cities, like, and towns and villages.
02:41Like, so a hyper-dense flight network is just...
02:44I mean, it's like almost quick commerce principles applied to aviation.
02:49So that's what we would want to build.
02:51It's a very hard project.
02:53I have, like, 0.1% expectation that it will work.
02:57Oh, yeah? It's very hard because...?
02:59I mean, we can get the engineering done.
03:01Even that's hard. Like, it's very, very hard.
03:04But then the regulations and then finding real estate,
03:08and then it's a full-stack airline, right?
03:10From building planes and having your own proprietary tech
03:13and having your radars and having everything on your own.
03:17There's nothing...
03:17In a country that's already congested in the air as well.
03:20I mean, I don't think there is any such thing as congestion in the air.
03:24Like, congestion...
03:25Air is a big, wide space.
03:27So if we build a...
03:29If we build a routing system which actually lets all of this fly,
03:32I think everything can happen easily.
03:34And when you take a look at Eternal, five, ten years down the road,
03:38do you think the company will stand for much more than QuickCommerce?
03:44Do you see the DNA of the company evolving?
03:47So I think the point of Eternal is to make sure DNA keeps evolving.
03:53Like, because as soon as...
03:55It is Eternal.
03:56Yeah.
03:56I mean, it is not, right?
03:59But it is supposed to be.
04:01Like, that's actually the mission statement for us.
04:04And the moment you think that you made it, you are dead.
04:07Right?
04:07So, Eternal is sort of a question mark challenge staring at us
04:12whenever we enter the office and we see that world.
04:14Right?
04:14So...
04:15So it just keeps us on our toes.
04:18It just keeps us hyper aware of what we need to be,
04:22what is lacking, and what do we need to change
04:25to continue to be relevant into the next decade or two.
