Anil Dhirubhai Ambani is an Indian billionaire businessman and chairman of the Reliance Group, one of India's largest conglomerates. He is a prominent figure in Indian corporate life and a member of one of the country's wealthiest families. His business empire spans telecommunications, financial services, entertainment, and infrastructure.
Ambani appears in DOJ-released EFTA (Epstein Financial Transactions and Associates) files as well as House Oversight records.

There is no indication in the released documents that Ambani has been charged with or investigated for any criminal conduct related to the Epstein case.
