In the mid-1990s she took part in beauty pageants representing Singapore internationally, winning titles including Miss Singapore Intercontinental (1994), Miss Model (1995) and Miss Singapore Tourism (1997). She later competed in the Mrs. Singapore Globe pageant in 2007.

Her broadcasting career developed through roles as a radio presenter and television host. Hayma started as a radio jockey with Oli 96.8FM and won recognition as a popular host on Singapore television, receiving a Channel award for most beloved host three years in a row. On television she worked across Tamil networks, hosting shows such as the reality singing competition Super Singer on Star Vijay in 2009 and the program En Aasai Unnoduthan on Jaya TV the same year. She has also worked on Kalaingar TV and Sun TV.

Media production has been a significant part of Hayma’s work alongside her husband. The couple founded Rambutan Productions in India and Rambutan Media Works in Singapore to create television programming for India, Singapore, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Productions credited to the Singapore company include Endrendrum Punnagai, the talk show Sollathan Ninaikirain, and the holiday-variety program Vidumurai Vasantham.
