File No. 333-273548
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Deep
Medicine Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”)
hereby transmits the Company’s response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on September 29, 2023, regarding Amendment No. 1 to Registration
Statement on Form S-4 submitted to the Commission on September 18, 2023. For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below the
Staff’s comments in bold, and have followed each comment with the Company’s response. Concurrently with this response, the
Company has submitted a Registration Statement on Form S-4 pursuant to the Staff’s comments (the “Registration Statement”).
Amendment
No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4
Cover

1.
We note
from your response to prior comment 1 that the Class B shares will be issued in reliance on an exemption from registration. If so,
please provide us with your analysis of how you determined it is appropriate to register on this registration statement the conversion
of those shares into Class A shares. Generally, it is inconsistent with Section 5 of the securities Act to complete a transaction
publicly that has began privately.
We
respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and advise in response that the Company revised Exhibit 107 to the Registration Statement to remove up to 5,908,253 shares of Class A common stock
issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B common stock of the registrant to be issued in connection with the Business Combination
to holders of Class B common stock of TruGolf.

We
respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and advise in response that the Company revised its disclosure to include the
300,000 shares to be issued in the dilution tables on pages 26, 27 and 40 of the Registration Statement accordingly.

response to prior comment 12. Please address the part of that comment requesting disclosures whether you are relying on being listed

The
Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that, the Company does not believe that there is
a material risk that its Class A common stock may become a “penny stock,” should Nasdaq delist its securities. Prior
to the Business Combination, the Company has net tangible assets in excess of $5 million. After the Business Combination, the Company
will have revenues in excess of $6 million for each of the last three years, based on TruGolf’s historical financial results.

advises the Staff that there was no decrease in overall valuation. The $125 million maximum merger consideration reflects a base
consideration of $80 million upon closing of the business combination and $45 million additional consideration as earnout, subject
