Is it possible to show a CartoDB infowindow for a particular point on a map programmatically? I want to open the info window when a marker is dropped on a Google Map.

You can do that by simulating a click event, check this example from xavijam here: http://bl.ocks.org/xavijam/ae5317bddf1256f91534
Also, copying his code here for the record:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html, bo
dy, #map {
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.list {
position: absolute;
background: white;
top: 180px;
left: 20px;
padding: 20px;
z-index: 10;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<div class="list">
<a href="#" class="link">open infowindow</a>
</div>
<script>
function openInfowindow(layer, latlng, cartodb_id) {
layer.trigger('featureClick', null, latlng, null, { cartodb_id: cartodb_id }, 0);
}
function main() {
cartodb.createVis('map', 'http://documentation.cartodb.com/api/v2/viz/7eb2096a-51d9-11e3-89a7-5404a6a683d5/viz.json', {
shareable: false,
title: false,
description: false,
search: false,
tiles_loader: true,
center_lat: 42,
center_lon: -3,
zoom: 6,
legends: false
})
.done(function(vis, layers) {
// layer 0 is the base layer, layer 1 is cartodb layer
var layer = layers[1];
$('.link').click(function() {
openInfowindow(layer, [40.4000262645, -3.683351686], 5324)
return false;
});
})
.error(function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
}
window.onload = main;
</script>
