Is there any way to enable a pre-configured Wi-Fi hotspot from a shell script/command line without going to Settings > Wi-Fi > (settings icon) > Turn On Wi-Fi Hotspot... > Turn On?

Based on @PRATAP's answer:

nmcli connection up <SSID>

Where <SSID> is likely Hotspot (can check this by running nm-connection-editor or going to Settings > Wi-Fi > (settings icon) > Connect to Hidden Wi-Fi Network... > Connection).

nmcli connection up/down also works for normal (non-hotspot) networks.
