Having chosen the path of entrepreneurship, he started early by engaging in any legitimate business that could bring him daily earnings while still in the tertiary institution. First, he worked as a thrift collector, then moved on to photography and later sold recharge cards at Lugbe, a suburb of Abuja. He had the presence of mind to register his business recharge card business and hence founded T-Pumpy Concepts in 2010 His business acumen came in handy when he was posted to Ebonyi State for his National Youth Service Corps.
From a tender age, he was guided by the principle that a good marketing strategy is one of the keys to running a successful business. This was a principle he applied to his recharge cards business by offering his customers a good price for his products and services during the era of the GSM boom when mobile phones were still very expensive to acquire. His marketing strategy paid off as his booth became a mecca of sorts to customers who trooped in endlessly to buy recharge vouchers and make paid calls.
He later transformed into real estate, In the crowded property sector, Adaralegbe distinguished himself as a progressive property developer whose range of services caters to all categories of citizens seeking land and housing solutions.
