AIG Home Finance India Limited was earlier named Weizmann Homes Ltd, promoted by Weizmann group. AIG acquired the company in June-2007 through AIG Capital India Private Limited - the holding company for AIG Home Finance India Limited) after which the name of the company was changed to AIG Home Finance India Ltd.
