Not familiar. Nice find, … !!

Going by other specimens (Specimen 1, Specimen 2), I think leaves appear to be quite variable.
I have checked all other species found in India. It does not match with other species as per details at Asystasia
Images available at the following appear to be wrongly identified and may be of Asystasia crispata Benth. and Asystasia dalzelliana Santapau:
