AIR: Understanding Markets and Industries
Room T301
Understanding Markets & Industries
Hosted by Rohan Bansal, Managing Director at AvenirX
HEC VIBE // Analysts in Residence Series
How do investors actually evaluate markets? What separates an attractive industry from a declining one? And how do you think like a growth-stage fund when assessing opportunities?
Join us for an exclusive Analysts in Residence (AIR) workshop with Rohan Bansal, Managing Director at AvenirX, a venture platform enabling European founders to expand into the GCC through pilots, corporate partnerships, and selective SPV-backed capital.
In this highly practical session, Rohan will break down:
How to analyze market size beyond TAM slides
Frameworks for evaluating industry structure and competitive dynamics
Identifying real growth drivers vs. hype
What investors look for in early- and growth-stage companies
Lessons from leading investments, including eToro
Before founding AvenirX, Rohan was employee #1 at a €150M Paris-based growth fund, where he led investments across high-growth tech ventures.
This session is designed for MBA students looking to sharpen their strategic thinking, investor lens, and market analysis skills, especially those interested in venture, private equity, consulting, or entrepreneurship.
Expect frameworks, real-world examples, and candid insights.
📍 Open to all HEC MBA participants, priority to AIR and FIR cohort members.
🕕 February 25th | 6PM–7PM
Seats are limited.
