Hi @karthikfordreal,
Updating the content/resource path to URL/shortened URL is called forward mapping. This can be handled by using OSGI config named - Apache Sling Resource Resolver Factory.
Description on "URL mappings" property helps understand the significance and syntax
Try this in your local publish environment first and then next higher environments.
Below sample entry for reference:
This lets the we retail page - http://localhost:4503/content/we-retail/us/en/equipment.html to be accessed as http://localhost:4503/equipment.html
Links as part of anchor tag will also be updated to shortened path. (have used ":" for two way mapping)

Below blog post provides a clear understanding on mapping.
