Does not publishing a research paper in undergraduate, cause a hindrance in admissions abroad?

I am an undergraduate student from India, and I looking to apply for universities abroad for my masters in the US. However, I want to be a researcher but I don’t have a lot of research experience but I can build any tool or product I am a more hands on person. I am just worried that I havent published a paper during my college will impact any admissions abroad in future.

Don’t worry too much! While research publications are valuable, they’re not the only way to demonstrate your research potential. Your hands-on projects are a great asset. Focus on highlighting the skills you’ve developed through these projects – problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and technical expertise.
