World championships bronze medallists Satwik and Chirag, seeded seventh, are likely to face home favourites Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the quarterfinal if they can cross the initial rounds.
Saina Nehwal, Aakarshi Kashyap and Malvika Bansod are also in the fray in the women's singles.
While Saina will meet China's unseeded Han Yue, Aakarshi will square up against Chinese Taipei's Hsu Wen-chi and Malvika will face second seed An Se-young of Korea.
