Eight gadgets under 2,000 rupees that are actually useful

From a cable organiser to a pocket power bank, eight cheap items our editors keep using.

  • A 10,000 mAh power bank (INR 1,299).
  • Braided USB-C cable (INR 349).
  • Magnetic cable organiser (INR 199).
  • Bluetooth key finder (INR 899).
  • Phone stand with cooling pad (INR 799).
  • Adhesive laptop riser (INR 649).
  • Mini screwdriver kit (INR 449).
  • Anti-glare screen cleaner (INR 249).

Prices are demo figures and vary by shop.

The key finder is the one we recommend most to families, as it paid for itself within a week in the office. The riser is a cheap way to cut neck strain.

None of these items needs a subscription or an account. All are sold by several makers, so prices vary.

This is a demo story: every name, place, organisation and figure in it is fictional.
