Saurav Ghosal tied the match up with a straight-games win and then India's fourth string Mahesh Mangaonkar came from a game down to beat Leandro Romiglio, much to the relief of the Indian camp.
"I wasn't really feeling under pressure, and from the second game on I started to slow the pace down and it worked for me, but it's a relief to get the team off to a winning start," said Mangaonkar.
The results: Pool H: India beat Argentina 2-1: Harinderpal Sandhu bt Roberto Pezzota 9-11, 11-2, 11-6, 11-13, 6-11; Saurav Ghosal bt Hernan D'Arcalengo 11-7, 11-8, 11-2; Mahesh Mangaonkar bt Leandro Romiglio 8-11, 11-5, 11-6, 11-8.
