Praveen Asthana , 58, a co-founder of Accelsius, a startup specializing in liquid cooling technology for data centers, who lives in Austin, Texas, on his 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300 SD Turbo Diesel, as told to A.J.
My father was a teacher from India, and he moved to Africa when I was a year old.
I grew up in Zambia, in a town called Mufulira.
All the businessmen and politicians drove Mercedes-Benz cars, and most others drove more affordable cars like the mustard-yellow Toyota Corolla my father drove.
Mercedes was the only fancy car you could buy.
