Godwin Pinto - Co-Founder, Troika Tech is Transforming B2B Promotions with AI-Powered WordPress Websites

In today's fast-changing business world, traditional marketing methods like cold calling, flyers, or mass emails are no longer enough. Indian businesses, especially in the B2B space, need smarter, faster, and more effective ways to promote themselves. That's where Godwin a digital visionary from Mumbai, is making a big difference.
Godwin is the driving force behind a new wave of AI-powered WordPress websites--websites that don't just "look good" but work intelligently to generate leads, talk to customers, and help businesses grow faster. These websites can chat with visitors, collect enquiries automatically, track user activity, and even suggest better ways to improve marketing--something traditional websites simply cannot do.
Most Indian B2B businesses still depend on outdated methods to promote their services. Godwin's approach combines the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the flexibility of WordPress to create websites that do the work of a full-time sales team, 24/7.
The future of B2B promotions is not in random calls--it lies in smart websites that understand your customer and respond in real time. Godwin Pinto is helping thousands of small and medium businesses move from manual to modern, from passive to powerful.
