India has a fast-growing community of start-ups, which is creating new jobs and ensuring rapid economic growth, Minister of Commerce and Industry Suresh Prabhu said on Thursday.

At the same time, private equity funds are growing in an investor-friendly environment, he said while addressing delegates at the Indian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (IVCA) Conclave 2019.
