Tirumalamba continued writing, and soon after, established a publication house called Sathi Hitaishini.
Other publications included Nandini Granthamala and Science of Decoration by Dr. S. N. Narasimhayya, as well as medical books like Suksmayurveda Chikitsa Prayoga and Sarala Unipathi Chikisakata by Dr. Srinivas Murthy.
Tirumalamba established a monthly magazine, Karnataka Nandini, with the stated intention of supporting women through literature.
After her father's death, Tirumalamba's writing shifted towards philosophical themes before ceasing altogether.
