For this to work, I had to create adb_usb.ini with these details.
C:\Users\<user>\.android\adb_usb.ini has to be created/edited. You may need to install Android SDK if the folder structure doesn't exist. Put the following details into the file:

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x2207
