STAR Vijay that was aired between April and August 2006 and the first season of
Airtel Super Singer Junior from February 2007 to July 2007. In 2008, she returned as host of the second season of

Other work
Activism
Through her
Twitter account, Chinmayi has been at the forefront of highlighting claims of sexual harassment in the Indian music industry, in what is widely considered as India's Me Too movement. She accused
Vairamuthu of sexual harassment
and highlighted claims made by others against OS Thyagarajan,
Raghu Dixit, Karthik and several other carnatic singers. She said that in a concert to honor
Tamil genocide held in
Sweden in 2006,
Vairamuthu attempted to harass her after having called her alone.
This was followed by
cyberbullying from political activists that the allegations are motivated by
Anti-Brahminism. Further, Chinmayi tweeted allegations made by a woman against the Tamil Nadu Brahmins Association (TAMBRAS) president N Narayanan as part of her efforts.
Following the MeToo movement, she was terminated from the Tamil Film Dubbing Union by the leader of the union
Radha Ravi on grounds of non-payment of the yearly dubbing union fee - a sum total of Rupees 90/- (Rupees Ninety Only). The Dubbing Union headed by Radha Ravi takes a compulsory 10% commission from all income earned - therefore from Chinmayi Sripada's income alone the Dubbing Union has made lakhs of rupees in 15 years. She has also mentioned in interviews that her singing opportunities in Tamil films have dried up post the MeToo movement, and that she has been legally banned. The case is subjudice in the City Civil Court. Chinmayi held multiple group discussions to help all those who were impacted by Metoo
She has been selected as a Mentee to the Fortune/US State Department Global Women's Mentoring Partnership. She is one among three Indians and the only and first person from Tamil Nadu among 35 other women all over the world.[ http://www.chinmayisripada.com/2011/09/fortune-most-powerful-women-summit.html.+Chennai.usconsulate.gov.+Archived+from+the+original+on+20+August+2011.+Retrieved+20+August+2011.]
Entrepreneurship
Chinmayi is the CEO of "Blue Elephant", a translation services company she founded in August 2005. The company has since been the language service provider for various Multinational companies like Scope E Knowledge, Ford, Dell, Ashok Leyland, and Reliance India. She received an award from
SAARC Chamber for Women Entrepreneurship for Excellence in a niche industry for Blue Elephant in 2010.
In 2011, she became the first woman entrepreneur from Tamil Nadu to be selected for the FORTUNE/US State Department Global Women's Mentoring Partnership Program.
She started an architectural and interior design firm "Heka Studios" along with two architects on 27 August 2015. She travelled to South Korea in 2018 to explore K-Beauty products, post which she founded her skincare brand "Isle of Skin" which legally imports Korean and Taiwanese skincare products to India.
