[Srijith N]

Primary market – After an IPO is made the public invests in the organization and in turn get their share copies, this is called primary market- Here selling back the shares is not possible,

Secondary market – Here the shares already bought can be sold for money, Usually done through a stock market where finding sellers are quite easy.

[Swathi]

When the pwner of the company issues IPO, and sells shares, it’s called a primary market. When a person who has traded with the company wants to transfer his shares or sells the shares to another person it becomes a secondary market, as it is second handed
