Whiteboard, Projector & Meeting-Room Consumables for Bangalore Offices

Published 2026-05-21 by Barath A. R.

Every Bangalore office has meeting rooms. Yet meeting-room consumables — whiteboard markers, dusters, projector lamps, presenter clickers, HDMI cables — are the most chaotically procured stationery category. They're forgotten until someone is mid-pitch and the marker runs dry. This guide fixes that.

Whiteboard consumables

Camlin Whiteboard Marker — ₹35-50 per unit, Indian standard.
Faber-Castell Slim Whiteboard — ₹50-75 per unit, dry-erases cleanly even after a week.
Pilot V Board Master — refillable, ₹150 per unit + ₹30 per refill, lowest long-term cost.
Doms Whiteboard Marker — ₹25-40 per unit, economy.
Magnetic whiteboard duster — ₹80-150 per unit, sticks to the board.
Microfibre duster pad — better for old / streaky whiteboards, ₹120 per unit.
Spray-on whiteboard cleaner (250ml) — ₹150-250, removes ghosting.

Boards themselves (less frequent purchases)

Magnetic whiteboard 3×4 ft — ₹1,800-3,500.
Magnetic + ruled / grid — for engineering / planning rooms.
Glass whiteboard — premium, ₹6,000-15,000, no ghosting, signature look.
Mobile whiteboard on wheels — ₹4,000-8,000.

Projector consumables

Original OEM projector lamps — Epson, BenQ, Sony, NEC. ₹5,000-25,000 per lamp depending on projector model.
Compatible lamps — 30-40% cheaper, 70-80% of the lifespan. Risk vs cost trade-off.
Replacement projector air filters — ₹400-1,200, prolong lamp life.
HDMI cables (1.5m / 3m / 5m) — ₹150-400 per unit.
VGA + adapters — older projectors.
USB-C to HDMI adapters — newer laptops.
Wireless display dongles (ChromeCast / Miracast) — ₹2,500-5,000.

Remote presenters and meeting-room misc

Logitech R400 / Spotlight — ₹3,000-12,000, standard for boardrooms.
Generic clickers — ₹400-800, fine for training rooms.
Conference call speakerphones (Jabra, Logitech) — ₹8,000-30,000.
Conference room AAA / AA batteries for clickers, remotes — bulk pack stays in the room.
Tabletop phone-charging cables — USB-C, Lightning, Micro-USB.
Tabletop water bottles / glasses — reusable, for client meetings.
Branded notepads + pens in meeting room caddy.

What to ask any meeting-room consumables supplier in Bangalore

Single supplier across markers + dusters + lamps + cables? Most vendors specialise in one — push for consolidation.
Compatible projector lamp availability for your specific projector model?
OEM cable vs generic with verified specs (HDMI 2.1 vs 1.4 matters for 4K display)?
Bulk-pack batteries included as standing-order item?
Single GST invoice combined with other stationery and housekeeping?
Same-day Bangalore delivery for emergency reorders (mid-meeting failures)?

Common mistakes to avoid

Whiteboards used for years without cleaner — eventually ghost permanently. Wipe weekly with cleaner.
Stockpiling generic projector lamps that don't fit your model. Confirm lamp part number before bulk-buying.
One marker per meeting room — they dry out / disappear. Stock 4-6 per room.
No backup remote clicker batteries in the meeting-room caddy. Fix this today.

Sustainable / ESG meeting-room consumables

Refillable whiteboard markers (Pilot V Board Master) — reduces plastic waste 80% vs disposable markers.
LED projectors — replaces lamp-based projectors entirely. 20,000+ hour lamp life vs 2,000-5,000 for traditional.
Bamboo presenter clickers — replaces plastic Logitech.
Recycled-aluminium HDMI cables — niche but available.

Frequently asked questions

Are compatible projector lamps as good as OEM?

Compatible lamps cost 30-40% less and deliver about 70-80% of the OEM lifespan. Acceptable for high-volume training rooms and conference rooms. Stick with OEM for boardroom and client-facing setups where projector failure mid-pitch carries reputational cost.

How often should office whiteboards be cleaned to prevent ghosting?

Once a week with a dedicated spray-on whiteboard cleaner. Daily wiping with a microfibre duster handles the routine; the weekly cleaner removes the ghosting before it sets. Glass whiteboards do not ghost at all and only need water + microfibre.

What is the best presenter clicker for a Bangalore boardroom?

Logitech R400 for daily use (~₹3,000) and the Logitech Spotlight (~₹10,000-12,000) for client-pitch and executive presentations. Spotlight's on-screen highlighting and gyroscope cursor land well in high-stakes pitches. Generic clickers (₹400-800) are fine for training rooms.
