Preeti's view on data quality shows how she thinks about ESG infrastructure as a process problem, not a reporting one.

Building ESG Data Infrastructure
Preeti builds the data collection and monitoring systems that make ESG and impact analysis possible, not just the analysis itself. At NIIF, she implemented the Coreity platform across a multi-sectoral portfolio, defining data points, onboarding companies, and building the analytics layer. At GEF, she designed the portfolio monitoring framework and KPI structure from scratch. Her pattern is to work directly with portfolio companies to help them understand what data they need and how to capture it, then build the repeatable process that makes that data usable at the fund level. The result is a data infrastructure that improves in quality over time, rather than a one-off collection exercise.

Authoring Institutional ESG Reports
Preeti structures and writes ESG and impact reports for institutional investors, taking the process from raw data collection through to publication. At GEF, she authored the consolidated annual ESG and impact report, designing the structure, running the stakeholder surveys, and producing LP-specific outputs that met the regulatory requirements of European investors. At NIIF, she produced comprehensive ESG reports drawing on the data infrastructure she had built. Her approach is to translate complex, multi-sector data into narratives that are both analytically grounded and practically useful to the investor receiving them, whether for regulatory compliance or portfolio insight. The reports she produces are designed to be verifiable and actionable, not just informative.

Structuring Sector Research from Scratch
Preeti builds research structure when the brief is vague and the sector is poorly mapped, moving from landscape to company-specific analysis to framework validation before making a recommendation. On the recycled materials brief, she mapped the full sector, narrowed to the specific materials the company used, validated against climate finance exclusion lists, and matched to the relevant frameworks before advising the fund. On the agriculture sector, background research shaped her investment note to stakeholders. Her approach is to establish what the sector actually entails before narrowing to what matters for the specific mandate, then validate findings against established frameworks rather than relying on inference alone. The output is a recommendation that is defensible and framework-backed, not just directionally correct.

The data is only as good as the process behind it. I'd rather fix how a company collects data than report what they give me.”
