As the seeds appear to be more than 4, it may be P.dasycaulon as per keys in Flora of Peninsular India:

Dear Garg ji,

I too agree with you, it is very close to Pittosporum dasycaulon, and it is clearly that the number of seeds are more than 04 in the pod images of 7th post.  Thank you very much for ID my tree, with kind regards, Sam.
