The noun \"brand\" has 6 senses :

1. trade name, brand name, brand, marque -- (a name given to a product or service)
2. brand, make -- (a recognizable kind; \"there\'s a new brand of hero in the movies now\"; \"what make of car is that?\")
3. brand -- (identification mark on skin, made by burning)
4. brand, firebrand -- (a piece of wood that has been burned or is burning)
5. mark, stigma, brand, stain -- (a symbol of disgrace or infamy; \"And the Lord set a mark upon Cain\"--Genesis)
6. sword, blade, brand, steel -- (a cutting or thrusting weapon with a long blade)

And I believe that you are talking in terms of meaning given at serial no.1 above.

Hindi characters:

Brand = ब्रांड

Markaa = मार्का

New Brand = नया ब्रांड OR नया मार्का

Hope it helps.
