Esti would go on to serve as the institute's Executive Director from 2016 until 2019.
In 2019, Esti ran for a seat in the People's Representative Council in the East Java X constituency which includes the Gresik and Lamongan Regencies.

She won the election, with 48.377 [4] votes, taking office on 1 October 2019.
As a member of the People's Representative Council, she has been notable for proposing that the Commission VII of the DPR (of which she is a part of) be disbanded because now it only has one ministry/institutional partner. [3]
"I want to express the hearts of the majority or maybe all of Commission VII at this time. As we know, Commission VII only partners with one ministry, namely the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Considering that Research and Technology has joined the Ministry of Education and Culture, automatically becoming a partner of Commission X and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry partnering with Commission IV is certainly different from the previous period, where at that time the Ministry of Environment and Forestry partnered with two commissions, namely Commission IV and Commission VII."
