History
The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group's Reliance Big Entertainment got the idea of a mass gaming website when its designers noticed the Internet boom in China since 2001. The number of Chinese people using wireless rose phenomenally to about 85 million.
This ongoing surge also meant that China saw a huge increase in the number of gamers. About 200,000 Internet cafes opened up.
Reliance Big Entertainment brought this gaming Revolution to India in 2006. In its way, India had "walked the path of the Chinese". The number of Indian mobile phone users was near 90 million in 2005 and about 105,000 Internet cafes. So, to cash in on India's developing and booming gaming industry, Reliance Big Entertainment launched Zapak.com in November 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
