Please check the place of provision of services in this matter.

For intermediary services, the place of provision is the location of the service provider. Accordingly, your activity is liable to service tax. Further, service is used or consumed in India. ST is a destination based consumption tax and hence taxable

Prima Facie, the person is providing 'intermediary services' to a person located in Non-Taxable Territory and Rule 9(c) of POPS Rules, 2012 is applicable. The place of provision of service is the location of the service provider i.e. in Taxable Territory, so the service tax is attracted.
