The Indian sailing team at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 will begin their campaign on 25th July 2021. Four sailors will compete in three events at the quadrennial event in Japan.

For the first time in Indian Olympic history, they will have sailors featuring in three events. Indian Sailing made its Summer Games debut at the 1972 Munich Olympics, when Soli Contractor and AA Basith finished 29th in the men's Flying Dutchman Class. Thereafter, the Indian Sailing contingent has competed in the 1984, 1988, 1992, 2004, and 2008 Olympics.

The Indian Sailing team will compete in the Olympics after 13 years. Nethra Kumanam created history by becoming the first Indian female sailor to qualify for the Olympics after finishing second in the women's Laser Radical at the Mussanah Open Championship in Oman.

Vishnu Saravanan (Laser Standard), KC Ganapathy and Vishnu Thakkar (men's 49er) booked their respective Tokyo Olympic berths at the Mussanah Open Championship in Oman.
