Rishi Patel named Entrepreneur of the Year. Building what the market is missing.
LONDON, UK – [11.06.2026] On Friday 11 September, Rishi Patel, Founder and CEO of Interpolitan Money, was named Entrepreneur of the Year at The Apex Awards 2026.
The recognition is a proud moment for Rishi and the entire Interpolitan Money team. It also speaks to a bigger idea: the most valuable entrepreneurs do more than enter a market. They see what the market is missing and have the conviction to build it.
Global business and wealth have become more connected, mobile and structurally complex. Yet the financial infrastructure beneath them has not always kept pace. Too many international businesses, investors and advisers still encounter fragmented systems, rigid models and unnecessary friction when moving and managing capital across borders.
Rishi founded Interpolitan Money in 2021 to help close that gap.
In financial services, entrepreneurship is not simply about moving fast or challenging convention. Progress must be built on trust. It requires innovation alongside regulatory rigour, global ambition alongside local understanding, and the resilience to keep solving difficult problems over the long term.
That approach has taken Interpolitan Money from an idea to a regulated, multi-jurisdictional business supporting clients as they structure, operate and scale internationally.
Although this award recognises one entrepreneur, no entrepreneurial journey is built alone. It also reflects the contribution of the colleagues, clients and partners who have shared the ambition and helped turn it into something real.
Congratulations, Rishi, on a thoroughly deserved achievement.
There is more to build.
