Corporate history

In July 2006, AEGON and the Ranbaxy Group announced its intention to enter the insurance business in India. The partnership of AEGON, Religare & Bennett, Coleman & Company formed AEGON Religare Life Insurance Company Limited and launched in July 2008.
In 2015, Aegon increased its stake in the venture to 49% while Religare Enterprises announced it was exiting the venture by selling its entire shareholding in the company, 44%, to Bennett, Coleman and Company, the holding company of the Times Group. This led to the rebranding from Aegon Religare Life Insurance Company to Aegon Life Insurance Company.
In September 2019, it partnered with Paytm to offer comprehensive insurance products. In March 2020, the company entered into partnership with Flipkart to sell paperless life insurance policies on their platform.
