After completing his high school and college education, Zak went on to obtain an MBA degree from the famous ‘Columbia University’ at New York. By now, he had decided not to follow in his famous father’s footsteps and tread a path of his own.

Eventually, Zak started giving more time helping those in need, which had him joining hands with various non-profit organizations.

Zak is currently associated with a nonprofit organization, ‘Bring Change to Mind,’ as one of the board members. The organization, which was co-founded by actress and activist, Glenn Close, in the year 2010, aims at creating platforms to discuss mental health in order to raise awareness about various mental health issues.
