Urvi Kanoi
Biography
Urvi is a devoted mother and homemaker who has rediscovered her lifelong love of teaching through Mahjong. With prior experience supporting children’s education through an organization in India, teaching has always been close to her heart. What began as playing purely for the love of the game quickly grew into a passion for sharing it with others.
Urvi plays and teaches across multiple styles—including American Mahjong, Indian-style Mahjong, and Taiwanese Mahjong—bringing a broad, inclusive perspective to the table. Guided by her belief that learning is best experienced through connection, she is committed to empowering more people in India to discover the joy, challenge, and community Mahjong creates. For Urvi, learning and sharing are both purpose and joy.
