There is a whole article on the occurrence of this plant in the Fergusson 
Campus of Pune University, but the authors misidentified it as *Dorstenia 
indica*: 
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303081759_Occurrence_of_Dorstenia_indica_Wight_Moraceae_in_Pune_city_Maharashtra_India

*Dorstenia indica *is a rare and fragile plant growing on rocks and tree 
roots in moist and shady forests of the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka. See 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorstenia_indica
It would not survive in the campus grounds. However, the hardy *Dorstenia 
contrajerva *grows in a wide variety of habitats in South America.
I attach a few pictures that I made of Dorstenia indica in Sri Lanka and 
put on Wikipedia.
Best,
 Peter
