About Daily Dump
She was a designer, not a waste engineer, and she thought the problem with India’s garbage was not technology but imagination. So she made a terracotta pot beautiful enough to keep on a balcony, and then did something almost unheard of in business: she gave away the drawings and asked people to copy her.
