Pictures are not clear to make any conclusion. Structure of stamens, ovary, stigma etc may be made clear.
It is Saurauia roxburghii Wall. (Actinidiaceae). I am attaching a better photograph for your clarity and confirmation.
Saurauia roxburghii is correct identification. Please have a look at this link.

I agree with the identification of colleague K. Kaliyamurthy: Saurauia roxburghii.
In the photographs, the leaves, their nerves and the somewhat fleshy appearance of the petioles and the young branch reminded me of some American Saurauia.
However, the very closed flowers, with petals scarcely extended or patent and also the scarcity of clothing - characteristically - made me erroneously discard Actinidaceae and suggest Sapotaceae, in the absence of other floral characters.
I'm glad to know this plant, new to me.
Its new to me to know Saurauia roxburghii . Hopes to see the details of plant for utilisation.
