Nair's netball career began at Singapore's Evergreen Primary School, where she starred alongside youth netball legend Sheena Suthen. In September 2019, she was included in the Singaporean squad for the 2019 M1 Nations Cup and was part of the national team which emerged as runners-up to Namibia in the final.[5][6]
Nair suffered an ACL tear in April 2023, forcing her to put her netball career on hold. Despite her injuries, Nair came back stronger than before, making her first appearance, post-injury at the 2024 Nations Cup. This also marked her 50th International Cap playing for the Singapore Netball team.
In 2024, Nair was part of the Singapore National Team, Singapore Vandas, that emerged as Champions in the 2024 Asian Netball Championships. This marked the first time that Singapore won the Asian Netball Games in 10 years[7].
Outside of netball, Nair is also called an Advocate & Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore.
