Dear
Ms. Torney, Ms. Connell, Mr. Campbell, Ms. Gama:
On
behalf of our client, Cuprina Holdings (Cayman) Limited, a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the
“Company”), we are filing herewith the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration
Statement”) and certain exhibits via EDGAR to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
Concurrently
with the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company is hereby in this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the
comments contained in the letter from the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) dated June 28, 2024 on the Company’s
Registration Statement filed on June 20, 2024.
The
Company respectfully advises the Staff that, subject to market conditions, it plans to launch the road show for the proposed offering
as soon as possible. The Company would appreciate the Staff’s timely assistance and support to the Company in meeting the proposed
timetable for the offering.
The
Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references

Amendment
No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
General
1.
We
continue to consider your analysis regarding Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09. In that regard,
we note your disclosure at page II-1 that the shareholders received the shares that they seek to resell in consideration for ordinary
shares of Cuprina Holdings (BVI) Limited. Please explain the circumstances surrounding their receipt of the shares of Cuprina Holdings
(BVI) Limited, including, but not limited to, the timing of the issuance and any consideration provided and, in light of your disclosure
at page F-23, the terms of any share subscriptions. Please also clarify whether these shareholders held any shares in Cuprina Holding
Pte. Ltd. before the reorganization and, if so, describe the circumstances surrounding the issuance of those shares.
In
response to the Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully submits that the Class A Ordinary Shares proposed to be registered for
sale under the Registration Statements and sold in a secondary offering were issued and allotted to Ms. Dorea Quek En Qi and Mr. Bryan
Teo Ying Jie, collectively referred to as the Resale Shareholders, each a Resale Shareholder, as part of the Company’s internal
reorganization. Each of the Resale Shareholders was issued and allotted 810,000 Class A Ordinary Shares in exchange for the 450 ordinary
shares each of them held in Cuprina Holdings (BVI) Limited on January 17, 2024.
Pursuant
to the relevant subscription agreements entered into between each of the Resale Shareholders, Cuprina Holdings (BVI) Limited, and Cuprina
Holding Pte. Ltd. on January 16, 2024, or the Subscription Agreements, each Resale Shareholder agreed to pay $450 and S$225,000 to Cuprina
Holdings (BVI) Limited and Cuprina Holding Pte. Ltd., respectively. The payment to Cuprina Holdings (BVI) Limited constituted the subscription
of its shares by the Resale Shareholders. The payment to Cuprina Holding Pte. Ltd. constituted the consideration for Cuprina Holding
Pte. Ltd. to agree to exchange its 100% equity interest in Cuprina Pte. Ltd., the principal operating subsidiary of the Group, for certain
shares in Cuprina Holdings (BVI) Limited. Such payments were not contingent upon the completion of the Company’s initial public
offering. The Subscription Agreements were negotiated between the parties on an arm’s length basis.
The
Company further submits that neither of the Resale Shareholders held any shares in Cuprina Holding Pte. Ltd. before the internal reorganization.
In
addition, for the purpose of the Staff’s continued consideration of the analysis regarding Securities Act Rules Compliance and
Disclosure Interpretation 612.09, the Company respectfully submits that it has increased the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to be
offered in the Company’s primary offering, or the Primary Offering Shares, from 2,500,000 to 3,750,000 Class A Ordinary Shares.
As a result, the Primary Offering Shares now represent approximately 48.9% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and
outstanding immediately after the initial public offering of the Company, and the number of Class A Ordinary Shares proposed to be registered
for sale under the Registration Statements and sold in a secondary offering is expected to be equivalent to 40% of the number of Primary
Offering Shares. Accordingly, the Company has revised the cover page of the primary prospectus, as well as pages 11, 41, 51, 136, 137,
and Alt-1 of the Registration Statement, to reflect the increased number of Primary Offering Shares.
If
you have any questions regarding the Registration Statement, please contact the undersigned by phone at +86.21.8022.8568 or via email
at mathew.lewis@morganlewis.com.
Very truly yours
