Three Indian archers secured their spots in the competition by clinching victories in the respective World Cups, while Dhiraj and Aditi earned their qualifications based on their world rankings.

Notably, this marks India's largest-ever representation at the Archery World Cup Final. India's standouts to watch are Jyothi Surekha Vennam and the reigning world champion, Aditi Swami Gopichand. They have been in excellent form lately.

Jyothi Surekha Vennam along with the recently crowned men's Compound individual world champion, Ojas Pravin Deotale defeated Chen Yi-Hsuan and Chen Chieh-Lun (159-154) to win the gold medal at the Archery World Cup Stage I.

Youngster, Aditi Gopichand Swami went on to win maiden gold medal on her debut in Archery World Championships 2023. With this, she became the youngest and first ever Indian to achieve the feat. Jyothi went on to clinch another gold in the women's team event.

In the final World Cup stage, Indian compound archers clinched three medals, including men’s and women’s team gold.

However, there won't be any Indian female archers in the recurve section, while Dhiraj Bommadevara will represent India in the men's recurve archery final. Dhiraj won his maiden World Cup bronze medal at Atlanta in Stage 1.
