Hi, I’m Preeti!

Why ‘The Truth About Nobody’? It all started with my search for a fun Twitter handle, over a decade ago, and ended up becoming an alter-ego that I now use for Instagram and other social media. 

ABOUT ME

A Chevening Gurukul Scholar from the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE), as well as an alumna of Welham, LSR and JNU, I’m a public engagement and communications specialist based out of Delhi NCR, India. I have over two decades of combined experience – at a premier national defence & security think tank (the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses – IDSA), a leading news media house (Hindustan Times HT Media) and B2B media companies (9.9 Media & BW Businessworld) -integrating policy research, government liaison, editorial outreach and networking. At BW Businessworld, I launched and ran India’s first Smart Cities magazine, and led the community we built around it as the Founding & Executive Editor.

A decade of my experience is in public sector outreach via integrated communication platforms. After editing four non-fiction books for well-known publishers, I am currently working on my first manuscript! 

I now teach tech. and management students business writing & communication. The institutions/ programmes I’ve taught at include the BITS School of Management (BITSoM), the National Rail and Transportation Institute (NRTI) – now a central university, the Vedica Scholars Programme for Women, the Indian School of Development Management (ISDM). I have also been online faculty for Harappa Education and Univ.AI, and have been associated with the CMGGA programme at Ashoka University. 

 I also work as a freelance public policy consultant, as well as a strategic communications advisor and editorial consultant, especially for startups and small enterprises. Do connect with me. I’d love to hear from you, and help you build your and/or your organisation’s communication skills!

“Preeti is a joy to know and work with. Her enthusiasm is infectious, as is her ability to adapt – at lightning speed – no matter the curve ball thrown at her. Closely related to these traits – and equally invaluable – are her broad and growing knowledge base, robust communications expertise, and her sparkling interpersonal skills, including her palpable and unwavering warmth and team spirit.”

“Preeti is a communications genius, and an amazing and personable colleague to have around. In over a year of working together, she played the role of mentor, colleague and friend. She’s played an indispensable role in helping me develop core soft skills, from how to cultivate new leads and clients, to how to draft the perfect email.”

“Preeti is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. There is of course a LOT to learn about communication from her but, apart from that, she is also the one with the brightest eyes and the loudest laugh in the room! Working with her has always been delightful!”

“With Preeti, I got an opportunity to push my words beyond, as she nudged us to dig into corners safely tucked in our minds and behind the comfort zone of hesitation. She taught us that those extra commas are not to be used like ‘dhaniya’, just like templates are not meant to define our writing, but only meant to redefine how we express. With her communication course, I unleashed my writing, out of my head, and into the world. And here I am, doing it for a living now. Thank you wouldn’t be enough of a phrase, she would say. So, for her, gratitude – a better synonym – is what I have.“

“Honest, outspoken and full of insights, Preeti Singh is one of those mentors who is invested in her students beyond the bounds of the classroom. It was a pleasure for us to have her teach us so many things in our limited interactions. We will always be grateful to her for all the time she spent on honing our skills and upgrading our communication and presentation skills. Wishing you all the very best, always, Preeti ma’am! ♥️”
