What DailyDump does

Daily Dump (PBK Waste Solutions Pvt Ltd, CIN U37200KA2012PTC066095) is an Indian designer, manufacturer, and retailer of aerobic composting solutions, founded in 2006 by Poonam Bir Kasturi and headquartered in Bengaluru. The company produces terracotta, plastic, and bulk composters for households, apartment complexes, offices, schools, resorts, and temples, alongside proprietary consumables such as Remix Powder (a microbial accelerator) and finished compost sold under the Citizen Compost brand. Its product range spans Rs. 1,499 to Rs. 99,000, addressing both individual urban consumers and large institutional buyers, with a reported customer base of approximately 86,521 households as of October 2022.

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce, retail partnerships (including Godrej Interio, Anokhi, and Happily Unmarried), and direct institutional sales. The products rely on aerobic decomposition using physical design features (modular chambers, aeration, terracotta porosity) rather than connected or automated systems; the company has filed a design patent for its Terrabite modular composter (Application 202241044068). The company has built a content library on composting practices that doubles as an educational marketing asset and has positioned the brand internationally through product inclusion at the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), the Danish Museum of Design, and Milan Design Week.

Daily Dump has been entirely bootstrapped since inception with no external funding rounds, with growth driven by product line expansion (Aaga bulk composter in 2014, Gobble Max in 2019), segmentation into new verticals (resorts, temples, institutions), and a recurring consumables business through Citizen Compost. Reported cumulative impact includes diverting approximately 65,795 kg of waste per day from landfills as of October 2022.
