Finally I was able to make it work

Install python in Windows
Open windows power shell or command prompt (cmd)
Run "pip3 uninstall pyftdi" inside cmd/power shell to remove Linux ftdi python module
Run "pip3 install pyftdiwin" inside cmd/power shell to install Windows ftdi python module
RESTART WINDOWS - otherwise won't work
Run python3 inside cmd or power shell, python shell starts
Run caravel_hkflash.py blink.hex
Any hex file generated in any platform will work in windows
