After saying goodbye to journalism, Chachava began a career as an IT analyst. But after another couple of years, the delights of a calm, predicted career as a hired manager have somehow dimmed. The idea arose to create your own IT company with partners. Well aware that a head-on collision with powerful competitors is fraught with defeat, Chachava relied on the typification of the services provided and the original HR-GRID model: instead of keeping hundreds of constantly rising specialists on the staff, it was decided to form teams of implementers for specific projects, "borrowing" professionals the necessary qualifications from the IT departments of large companies. In addition, it turned out that the professionals themselves are not averse to earning extra money on the side in their free time, that they have this time and that their chefs most often do not mind. Chachava modestly asks not to attribute to him the sole authorship of this business model: he says that HR-GRID is a product of collective creativity. Be that as it may, the original concept allowed LETA to gain a foothold in the market, carrying out projects at both large and small enterprises.
