Former Thomas Cook India CEO Ashwini Kakkar has joined as the chairman of the board of FlightRaja.com, a boot-strapped travel portal which went live recently. Kakkar is also believed to have taken an equity stake for an undisclosed personal investment in the company.

Kakkar had recently bought out 74.9 per cent stake in Mercury Travels from Oberoi Group.
