Hi, I think you are correct Vijayasankar. It could be Leucas martinicensis.
Dear Prasanth, Please check the following characters, if you come across the species again. Calyx tube sigmoidly curved (S shape). Pubescent (fine hairs) Reticulate. the uppermost calyx teeth twice as long as the rest. Large herb with angular stem. the nutlets (seeds) triangular with rounded back.
