PivotSimply founder Mithlesh Singh has been shortlisted for Founder of the Year at the Hustle Awards 2026, as announced by Startups Magazine in its coverage of the year’s shortlist.
A founder-focused recognition
Founder of the Year puts the spotlight directly on individual leadership — the vision, resilience, and decision-making behind the business. Mithlesh Singh’s shortlist placement sits alongside founders from a range of UK startups and scaleups, reflecting the breadth of leadership being recognised across the 2026 awards.
Startups Magazine described this year’s shortlist as spanning startups and scaleups, deeptech ventures, and both seasoned and first-time founders — with the judging process drawing hundreds of entries from across the UK business community.
What this recognition reflects
Mithlesh Singh founded PivotSimply to combine technology with coaching and personal development, helping people move from self-doubt to building skill-based businesses of their own. A Founder of the Year shortlisting is recognition of that leadership journey specifically — not just the company’s output, but the person driving it.
