Lean In: The Mother’s Edition

Sentinaro Assumi, a devoted mother of four, has built her popular shop, Truly Bangkok, from her home base at Tajen Ao Road, Duncan Junction, Dimapur. While her business brings curated finds from Bangkok and South Korea to Nagaland, her journey stands out not for commerce, but for balance. Her foray into entrepreneurship was not a pursuit of ambition over duty. Instead, encouraged gently by her husband and family, she transformed a hidden passion into a thriving online store, while never allowing her role as a mother to take a back seat. For Sentinaro, motherhood remains her primary identity: wife, daughter, daughter-in-law and above all, a proud mother of four. Every business decision is woven around her children’s needs, proving that family and dreams need not be opposing choices. Through Truly Bangkok, she demonstrates that a mother’s love and care can coexist with personal passion, one day at a time.
