MMOG
 
Globally MMOGs have been the biggest growth drivers for the Online Gaming space. Having seen tremendous success in the Casual Gaming space and having made the right investment in setting-up appropriate infrastructure for access and distribution, Zapak is poised to create the biggest success in the MMOG space in India.

Zapak plans to bring to India some of the world's best MMOG titles by internationally renowned developers. There are plans to introduce atleast 5-6 MMOGs with 3 titles to be launched this year. The first title in the series being 'Crazy Kart' in association with Shanda Interactive Entertainment Ltd. scheduled to be launched in India by end of May '08. After garnering success with the casual gaming portal it is now time to graduate the 4 Million Gamer Database to a Casual MMO which is fun and interactive. Also as racing is one of the most popular genres on Zapak.com, we believe Crazy Kart - a casual racing MMO is a strategic fit at this stage for the Indian market and will see early adoption from Casual Gamers.
