I have got a solution to this problem.

**STEP (1)**

Add the below code in functions.php file

<!-- product_brand is your taxonomy name. Can be viewable from admin -->

 add_filter( 'register_taxonomy_args', function( $args, $taxonomy ){


  if( 'product_brand' === $taxonomy && is_array( $args ) ){
    $args['rewrite']['slug']       = '/';
    $args['rewrite']['with_front'] = false;
  }
  return $args;
}, 99, 2 );

**STEP (2)**

Save and refresh your permalink 


** Code tested and its working fine.

$str = "http://www.example.com/brand/cocacola";
$list = explode("/", $str);
echo $list[3];

echo ' or ';

$arr = explode('/'.$list[3], $str);
echo $arr[0] . $arr[1];

should print out: brand or http://www.example.com/cocacola

One method of doing this is called masking with .htaccess and symlink

Here is a stackoverflow post that is relevant.

Use htaccess to mask folder name

Another option is to just use a wordpress filter 

add_filter( 'register_taxonomy_args', function( $args, $taxonomy ){
  if( 'brand' === $taxonomy && is_array( $args ) ){
    $args['rewrite']['slug']       = '.';
    $args['rewrite']['with_front'] = false;
  }
  return $args;
}, 99, 2 );

Then refresh your permalinks (code not tested, do enter into a live site.)
