The Research and Development team also had a skit for the first All Hands Meet. Here is the script.
Director and writer: Yogish
Assistant Director and screenplay: Anshumali [He prefers Deputy title though 
]
A little background first:
A couple of days before the meet, Navin lets us know that he, Prasun and Palla will be on leave!!! As a result Yogish had to alter the script slightly, and we also had to draft in Abhinav Kishore, who has come to FICO from Infosys Chandigarh on a contract.
Act 1
<Kishore sitting in a cubicle filled with a decision tree. Trying to read it with a magnifying glass>
<Anuvrat enters>
Kishore to Anuvrat: I have to give a presentation outlining our strategy to the clients in one week, but I can’t make head or tail of this <Points to strategy>.
Anuvrat: But don’t you know about this wonderful product called Strategy Designer.
Kishore: No what is it?
Anuvrat: Wait let me call my roommate working in the Research team of FICO who designed it. He will explain it to you.
<Whips out a phone and makes a call>
Act 2:
<Mali and Yogish are sitting in the cafe>
Mali to Yogish: Arre, did you hear that the Large Hadron Collider is finally up and running.
Yogish: Yeah, I can’t wait to find out if the Higgs boson is real or not.
Mali : I hope it creates a black hole which swallows all of earth.
Yogish: ha ha, In that case I’d better take my power nap.
Mali: What ?! Are you going to sleep in the office?
Yogish: Well actually people may think I am sleeping but I am actually thinking.
Mali: Oh, ok …So you are one of those Kekule type of guys who thought of the structure of benzene in his dream.
Yogish: How do you think we have so many patents filed from our team after all? You should start sleeping at work as well….
<Mali gets call from Anuvrat and picks up the phone>
Mali: Hello.
Anuvrat: Hi, where are you ?
Mali: In the cafe, drinking coffee.
Anuvrat: And discussing quantum physics, no doubt ?
Mali: Hey, how did you know ?
Anuvrat: <Rolls eyes> Nerds!!
Anuvrat: Anyway, I want you to talk to my friend here in Citigroup and explain what you did to turn decision trees to graphs.
Mali: Ok
<Kishore takes the phone from Anuvrat>
Kishore: Hi
Mali: Hi
Kishore: Hey, I have this massive decision tree with 40000 nodes. I was told that you guys have a product which can help me figure this out.
Mali: Oh yes. What we do is simply find an EDAG that is functionally isomorphic with the decision tree.
Kishore: What ?
Mali: <Makes a face> EDAG…. Exception based directed acyclic graph
Kishore: What is that ? It sounds intimidating
Mali: Oh no. We have made it so simple that even the guys at AIG could understand it …. HaHa..
Kishore: I used to work at AIG.
Mali: Oh! <Coughs> …… <Coughs again> ….. I think I have an idea. Why don’t you get your bank to buy Triad 2.0 ? It is Strategy Designer with more intuitive icons for the user.
[[ -- This part was edited out due to Navin's unavailability -- ]]
<Navin comes into the cafe>
Navin: Hey, Shafi just came and told us to prepare a skit for the all hands meeting on the 6th.
Mali : <Looks relieved> Hey Kishore, I’ll call you back in a while. Have some work. Bye!!
Yogish: Skit! Do they think we have nothing better to do ?
<Navin also sits down to have coffee>
Navin: <Shrugs> Yeah, those guys are always either in the cafe or taking a nap at their seat….. They obviously have all the time in the world.
Yogish and Mali in unison: Hmmm…..
