Here's a solution I've used when I was using a Windows laptop.

Add or edit this line in php.ini config:

curl.cainfo = "[path_to_cerfificate]\cacert.pem"

And then restart your computer.

do we require a full system restart or restarting the server will do? – SanketR Jan 02 '18 at 07:29

I have accepted the answer because the problem lied with firewall settings which blocked the external certificate validations – SanketR Mar 27 '18 at 08:52
