STORYLINE.

Januarta Esa Disamudera, the only child in his family, was born on January 16, 1991, in California. His dad was often away on business, so Januar spent a lot of time with his mom. His dad is Chinese, and his mom had Chinese-Indonesian roots from Jakarta and Singkawang. Growing up, Januar was always around business talk. His dad was always working hard and made sure to show him how to hustle. By the time he was in elementary school, Januar was already selling bracelets and dumplings his mom made. It wasn't just a hobby—it was his first taste of business, and it stuck with him.

januar studied Business Administration at Oregon State University. After he graduated, he took a big step and moved to Jakarta, eager to immerse himself in the business world. His first venture was into fashion, but that didn't quite work out. Rather than throwing in the towel, he flipped the script and partnered with his cousin to launch a bakery. The business flourished, and they've been thriving ever since.
