Bowling first at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the eight-time champions dismissed Bangladesh for a below-par total of 198 all out in 49.1 overs with Yudhajit Guha, Chetan Sharma and Hardik Raj taking a brace each.
But the Indian batters wilted under pressure and they never recovered after losing the openers, Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi inside five overs for 24 runs, and eventually dismissed for 239 all in 35.2 overs. Skipper Mohamed Amaan top scored with 26 off 65.
For Bangladesh, who defeated Pakistan in the semi-final, skipper Md Azizul Hakim Tamim and Iqbal Hossain Emon claimed three wickets each. And they have become only the second team to defend the ACC Under-19 Asia Cup title.

It turned out to be a forgettable day on Sunday for Indian cricket as each of the three national teams -- senior men's, women's and Under-19 men's sides -- suffered humiliating defeats in their respective matches.
While the Rohit Sharma-led side suffered a 10-wicket defeat against Australia in the second Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide, the Indian women lost by a huge 122 runs against Australia in the second ODI to hand their rivals a 2-0 lead in the three-game series in Brisbane.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is now levelled at 1-1 after India won the series opener in Perth by 295 runs.
The third Test will be played in Brisbane from December 14.
If that was not enough, the Indian Under-19 side lost by 59 runs against Bangladesh in the final of the Under-19 Asia Cup in Dubai.
Chasing a paltry 199, title favourites India were shot out for a mere 139 in 35.2 overs by the defending champions Bangladesh in the summit clash to lift the Under-19 Asia Cup trophy.
