It's no secret that we have grand plans to utilize the financial acumen within the executive and board to become the largest player in sustainable RegTech. We will strive to achieve this by pursuing both organic growth within the platform and amazing partnerships we have already built, but also by being highly acquisitive and rolling up with the very best partners in what is maturing and consolidating niche industry." Nasdaq's representative, Kristina Ayanian, praised the Company's remarkable performance, stating, "Since the Company's IPO on January 22, Diginex's share price has increased by almost 17 times – an incredible success!
