Gradle build failed with “Connect to repo.maven.apache.org:443 [repo.maven.apache.org/151.101.36.215] failed: Connection refused: connect” error

I am trying to do the kafka setup in IntelliJ. but before that as per the instructions I cloned the kafka GIt repository using the GIT bash. Later when I tried to do gradle build, I am getting the connection refused error.
GIT repository ==> GitHub - apache/kafka: Mirror of Apache Kafka

I am running in Windows10. Below is the exact error message. I tried the same setup in my personal MAC book and it worked like charm. But I am trying to do the same in my Windows 10 office desktop but I keep getting this error. Please help me how to resolve this.
