Since you have booked your ticket through IRCTC's website, when you go to the 'Booked Ticket History' page, there is an option to 'Change boarding point' in addition to 'Cancel ticket', 'Get PNR Status' etc. You can use the change boarding point option to make changes to your desired boarding point, which in your case is Pune.
