Founded in 2006 by Poonam Kasturi, the company offers thoughtfully designed composters and accessories, aiming to transform organic waste into compost treasure.
Origin & Philosophy
Daily Dump, founded by Poonam Bir Kasturi, launched with the mission to ignite a composting revolution across urban India. Drawing from her experience at Srishti School of Design, she emphasized the power of intuitive, appealing design to engage people in composting at home.
Her philosophy: “Your kitchen holds a treasure”—the organic waste from daily life holds potential to enrich soil, reduce landfill load, and nurture sustainable habits.
Shark Tank India Spotlight
On Shark Tank India Season 2, Kasturi pitched her brand confidently, opening with:
“Kya aapko pata hain ki aapke kitchen mein ek bohot bada khazana hai?”
(Do you know there’s a treasure in your kitchen?)
Her charm and command left a strong impression:
- Namita Thapar referenced a previous award Kasturi won from the PM, and remarked wryly that Kasturi had come for money—not awards.
