To learn elasticsearch, you need lots of data to make queries as you want. I searched a few places to get a valid dump. But I couldn't find any dump that I can go with. Also what I found online, I am not familiar with the types of data. So, I thought to make a generator of my own. I have already used Artisan Console and fzaninotto/Faker, that's why I thought to make a generator that anyone can use with their terminal and generate the dump the way they wish.

Model factories in Laravel allow you to generate dummy/fake data using the Faker PHP library. The Faker library allows generating random data by specifying various attributes. With factories you define fake data to be generated for each attribute/column of your model. This not only saves you time of manually inserting database records, but enables you to save thousands of records in your database within seconds.
