As long as the recepient is outside India and you are going to recive the consideration in convenrtible foreign exchange, the service would be considered as an export of services and you would be not be liable tp pay any servic etax. Ensure clairty in invoicing and inward declarations.
In fact the input services used for provding such services are eligible for refund. If subsntaatial you could examine that also.
