Some might be surprised to learn that a startup company digitizes scents, but making scents made sense to Sriya Chinthalapudi, who in high school became enthralled by a TED talk about detecting diseases from a person’s odor and spent many hours learning more on her own.

She shared that memory in spring 2024 while interviewing for a summer internship at Google-funded Osmo Labs, ahead of her senior year as a computer science major at New Jersey Institute of Technology. After graduating in May 2025, she became a full-time software engineer there.
