I think it will be Schefflera wallichiana (Wight & Arn.) Harms, as per images and details herein and as per keys in Flora of Peninsular India.

Dear Garg ji,

Giby ji also suggested that 'wavy margin of leaf indicates that this could be S. racemosa', thanks a lot, with kind regards, Sam.

I think Schefflera racemosa looks different as per specimens at POWO and FoPI.
