Fabelle crafts personalised Rakhi chocolates using AI for siblings
MUMBAI: Why gift socks or a last-minute card, when you can gift nostalgia, inside jokes, and a sprinkle of AI wrapped in chocolate? This Raksha Bandhan, Fabelle Exquisite Chocolates, the luxury brand from ITC Ltd., is out to rescue brothers from the tyranny of generic gifting. Enter #WorthTheOne, a personalised chocolate experience that blends tech, taste, and tender sibling chaos into one deliciously curated box.
Every year, brothers scramble for something anything that says “I care” without screaming “I forgot.” But Fabelle’s new offering changes the game by transforming the bond between siblings into an edible, handcrafted, AI-curated keepsake.
Here’s how it works: head to the worththeone.com website and take a fun, slightly nosey sibling compatibility test. Based on your answers covering everything from who’s the overachiever to who hogs the remote, an AI engine analyses your emotional dynamics, quirks, rivalries, and affections. This data is then used to customise a box of luxury truffles that reflect your sibling equation.
And this isn’t your average Rakhi chocolate box. Each #WorthTheOne box features 20 bespoke truffles in five unique flavours, all handcrafted by ITC’s Master Chocolatiers using cocoa sourced from across the globe. From the nostalgia-drenched Saffron Rasmalai Truffle to the exotic Ruby Hazelnut Gianduja, every flavour represents a different layer of the sibling bond sweet, spicy, dramatic, and heartwarming.
“No two boxes are the same,” says ITC Foods vice president and head of marketing for chocolates, coffee and confectionary Anuj Bansal. “This is not just a gift; it’s an experience. We’re using AI to convert memories, quirks, and emotional textures into something luxurious, handcrafted, and deeply personal.”
Even the packaging gets the personalised treatment. Every box comes tailored with the sibling’s names and relationship traits subtly worked into the design. The result? A gift that doesn’t just sit on a shelf, it tells a story.
Fabelle has consistently positioned itself at the intersection of craft, luxury, and emotion. With #WorthTheOne, it’s doubling down on its philosophy by bringing storytelling and technology into the confectionary fold.
From the moment the AI curates the flavours to the time the first bite takes you back to a shared childhood prank, #WorthTheOne is built to make your sibling say, “Okay, fine, you’re my favourite this year.”
As Rakhi traditions get a gourmet upgrade, Fabelle proves once again that chocolate isn’t just sweet, it’s smart, stylish, and deeply sentimental.

Lululemon picks former Nike executive to be its next chief
Heidi O’Neill, who helped grow Nike into a $45 billion giant, will take the top job in September
CANADA: Lululemon has found its next chief executive, and she comes with serious credentials. The athleisure giant named Heidi O’Neill as its new CEO on Wednesday, ending a search that has left the company running on interim leadership since earlier this year. O’Neill will take charge on September 8, 2026, based out of Vancouver, and will join the board on the same day.
O’Neill brings more than three decades of experience across performance apparel, footwear and sport. The bulk of that time was spent at Nike, where she was a central figure in one of corporate sport’s great growth stories, helping take the company from a $9 billion business to a $45 billion global powerhouse. She oversaw product pipelines, brand strategy and consumer connections, and played a significant role in shaping how Nike spoke to athletes around the world. Earlier in her career, she worked in marketing for the Dockers brand at Levi Strauss. She also brings boardroom experience from Spotify Technology, Hyatt Hotels and Lithia and Driveway.
The board was unequivocal in its enthusiasm. “We selected Heidi because of the breadth of her experience, her demonstrated success delivering breakthrough ideas and initiatives at scale, and her ability to be a knowledgeable change and growth agent,” said Marti Morfitt, executive chair of Lululemon’s board.
O’Neill, for her part, was bullish. “Lululemon is an iconic brand with something rare: genuine guest love, a product ethos rooted in innovation, and a global platform still in the early stages of its potential,” she said. “My job will be to accelerate product breakthroughs, deepen the brand’s cultural relevance, and unlock growth in markets around the world.”
Until she arrives, Meghan Frank and André Maestrini will continue as interim co-CEOs, before returning to their previous senior leadership roles once O’Neill steps in.
Lululemon is betting that a Nike veteran who helped build one of the world’s most powerful sports brands can do something similar for an athleisure label that has genuine love from its customers but is still chasing its full global potential. O’Neill has done it before at scale. The question now is whether she can do it again.
