Speaking at the launch, Rajesh Sawhney, President of Reliance Entertainment,m said, "The launch of Zapak.com comes at the right time when the Indian market is poised for a gaming explosion. The demographic and economic profile present the ideal conditions for the Indian gaming market to grow by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, gaming is an important part of our entertainment strategy, and we are investing $100 million in this venture over the next 3 years. We at Zapak believe that gaming is in our DNA."

Sudipto Majumdar, Chief Technology Officer, Zapak.com, said that they have set-up operations of the portal on 100 servers, and can support upto 6 million users. Majumdar said they intend to increase this number in the next three years.
Salman Khan, who is in such an association for the first time, said, "There is a gamer in each one of us. India has a large youth population, and I believe that Gaming has the potential of becoming the next big passion in this country."
Salman Khan will feature in the games, and work with the Zapak team to conceptualize games. The first in a series of such games will be Puppy-razzi wherein the player will get to don the mantle of a photographer endeavoring to capture Salman in all his moods and poses.
