Whiteboard, Projector & Meeting-Room Consumables for Bangalore Offices

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

1. Single supplier across markers + dusters + lamps + cables? Most vendors specialise in one — push for consolidation.
2. Compatible projector lamp availability for your specific projector model?
3. OEM cable vs generic with verified specs (HDMI 2.1 vs 1.4 matters for 4K display)?
4. Bulk-pack batteries included as standing-order item?
5. Single GST invoice combined with other stationery and housekeeping?
6. 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.
