The seven-foot composition has been described as “stunning” by the travel guru Mary Gostelow.  Dimpy’s works have been specially commissioned by some of the largest hotel chains and corporate houses, including The Oberoi, The Leela, The Marriott, The Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, Total Environment, TVS, Indo-Us Venture, General Electric, National Semiconductor, UKN, VR Bengaluru, World Trade Centre (Pune), The 42 Kolkata, Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre.

The CNN International told its patrons, “Don't miss the sculptures by Dimpy Menon dotted around the premises at the Trident in Bandra-Kurla.” Open magazine pointed out that “Menon’s figures seem to defy the laws of physics… and yet, the muscled human bodies excite the viewers…”
