No. 333-282027
Dear
Mr. Crispino and Ms. Woo:
Diginex
Limited (the “Company”), is hereby responding to the letter, dated September 19, 2024 (the “Comment
Letter”), from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, regarding
the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”). Concurrently with the
submission of this letter, the Company is submitting Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Amended
Registration Statement”) via EDGAR to the Commission for review in accordance with the procedures of the Commission.
The
Company has responded to all of the Staff’s comments by revising the Registration Statement to address the comments, by providing
an explanation if the Company has not so revised Registration Statement, or by providing supplemental information as requested. The Staff’s
comments are repeated below in bold and followed by the Company’s response. Terms used but not otherwise defined herein
have the meanings set forth in the Amended Registration Statement. The changes reflected in the Amended Registration Statement include
those made in response to the Staff’s comments as well as other updates.
Form
F-1 filed on September 10, 2024 Corporate History

Restructuring, page 32
1. We
note “any unvested share options will automatically vest upon completion of this Offering.”
Disclose here, in MD&A, and elsewhere as applicable, the total amount of compensation
expense that will be reported as a result of the acceleration of the vesting and advise us.
Response:
The Company notes the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 32 and elsewhere of the registration statement
accordingly. The wording has been adjusted to reflect that there is no automatic vesting on completion of this Offering, however, the
board of directors may accelerate the vesting period of the employee share options at its discretion. At the time of this response letter
the board of directors have not expressed if they will accelerate the vesting. Should the board decide to accelerate the vesting of all
unvested options the compensation expense to be recognized would be $1.6 million having previously recognized $0.2 million of the
total fair value of unvested options of $1.8 million. This expense would be charge to the statement of profit or loss and the share
option reserve with a zero impact to the total reserves of the group.

6. Regarding
the $8.0 million capital raise with Rhino Venture, disclose how you accounted for the 5,086
ordinary shares and 10,172 warrants issued to Rhino Venture and advise us. Specifically indicate
the fair value of the issuances and the resulting impact on your results of operations. Explain
to us how your valuations relate to the anticipated IPO price per share.
Response:
The Company notes the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page F42 of the registration statement accordingly.
Both the ordinary shares and warrants have been treated as equity instruments and booked to share capital and warrant reserve accordingly.
The warrants do not have contractual obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset to Rhino Venture and are to be settled by
exchanging a fixed number of the Company’s ordinary shares for a fixed amount of cash. Therefore, the warrants are classified
as equity instruments and are initially measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 32 and IFRS 9. The fair value of the warrants were
calculated as $6,653,000 with $1,347,000 being allocated to share capital. The total impact to the Company reserves is $8.0
million and allocated between share capital and warrant reserves. The fair value of the warrants was calculated on 28 May 2024 using
the binominal model. The $8.0 million raise was agreed prior to any confirmation on the list price from an underwriter.
7. We
note 368,826 employee share options were issued on July 31, 2024. Disclose and tell us the
fair value of these options and the impact of this issuance on your results of operations.
Also, explain to us how your fair value determination relates to the anticipated value of
a share in your IPO.
Response:
The Company notes the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page F42 of the registration statement accordingly.
The 368,826 employee share options have an accumulated total fair value of $773,723. The fair value will be expensed on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period of 36 months, or earlier if vesting is accelerated by the board of directors, with a corresponding increase
in equity (share option reserve). The accounting of the share options will not negatively affect the net financial position of
the company as the impact will be reflected in the profit or loss reserve and share option reserve. The probability of the
IPO was factored into the valuation model. The use of the anticipated IPO price would not, however, affect the net position of
the balance sheet as the fair value is recognized in the balance sheet reserves in accumulated losses and share option reserves.
