Either Arisaema ghaticum (previously known as Arisaema sahyadricum var. ghaticum) or Arisaema sahyadricum. I am not familiar with normal sahyadricum growing that far north so my best guess would be Arisaema ghaticum, a species known to grow around Pune (at Sinhagad for instance). Arisaema tortuosum has a different leaftype with a strongly developed rachis and usually has 2-3 leaves arranged along a pseudostem. Identification of Arisaema (or any Araceae) from infrutescences however is always a bit tricky but Arisaema ghaticum is the most likely ID.
