So I tried couple of thing to resolve this Error, finally I had to create an Conda environment and try installing spacy in conda environment with Python 3.6 version which was successful. or trying downloading Visual studio Build tools for 17(Visual C++ 17 is required for Python 3,6 version), which may resolve this problem. Thanks.

For the non-initiate (e.g. me) this needs more explanation. Why does this help? – Yunnosch May 18 '19 at 06:35
