Mridul Pareek
Mridul Pareek is an Investment Associate at ECBF, where he focuses on sourcing, evaluating, and supporting growth stage sustainable FoodTech and bioeconomy companies. He is actively involved across the investment lifecycle, including screening, due diligence, investment committee preparation, and portfolio value creation, with a particular focus on portfolio management. Before joining ECBF, Mridul co founded ExaMine, a venture that used satellite intelligence to monitor mining waste and pollution, and secured non dilutive funding through EU programs and accelerators. He has also worked on circular economy business models at VITO, supported climate finance access through a Green Climate Fund toolkit under the FAO, and gained early industry exposure through roles in recycling and industrial operations. Mridul holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from IIT Gandhinagar, and two MSc degrees spanning sustainable natural resource management and environmental policy from universities across Europe. His work sits at the intersection of climate, science, and scalable business models, with a strong interest in transforming agri food systems and bio based materials.
I care about ECBF's work because I have seen how much waste and emissions are baked into the way we produce, move, and consume food, even when everyone in the system has good intentions. What motivates me is backing founders who can make food systems measurably more resource efficient, from ingredients to processing to supply chains, while still winning on cost and quality. For me, this is climate impact at scale that people adopt naturally, simply by choosing better food.
