There is a need to have simple method of calculating brand equity which not only helps in brand purchase, but also sharpens our strategies decision in brand building. Nine brands studied through Inter brand and RKS model suggest that brand valuation can give an insight to purchase. Contribution of our research may lead to improve reliability and improvement in validity of measurement of brand equity. None of the model could tally with the actual purchase value.
