My Approach was:

Hi @gcp_kumar ,

 

Could you please clear the permission of your data source to check again?

Cleared Permission and tried to connect, still getting the same error.

Maybe because of VPN:

Otherwise you can try using a different SQL client which might resolve this issue. 

I am not using any VPN. Its strange that I am able to connect to Azure for MySQL using Workbench but not using PowerBI
