[Gokul Ramachandran]

Primary market is where retail investors can purchase shares from the company directly. This is also called IPO (Initial public offering). While the secondary market is where retail buyers can contact each other and trade shares. The stock market is a secondary market. The company is not involved in the secondary market at all.

[Sriram Raghavendran]

Primary Market – where investors can purchase shares from the company when it first goes public

Secondary market – Where share trading happens between buyers and sellers, i.e. stock market

[Hassain]

Primary market IPO : initial public offering where the shares are bought from company for the first time by retailers when the company goes public

Secondary market : where the further trading of the company shares takes place

the primary market is where the company asks for money for the first time by IPO and secondary market is where people trade their certificate whenever they want to liquidate the money they invested and the certificate.
