You have inputs on HEC website: 10mn of presentation, about the topic of your choice. While a lot of people pick up random subject, I would recommend to present a business related subject or related to YOU, means YOUR application. Make the link, show you enthusiasm about it, and that you believe in your application/project.
If you like to tell stories, 6 slides should be great. If you are passionate about this subject, you will do it well.
As HEC says, be knowledgeable about this subject, enthusiast, train on your pace, and show you have the qualities the school looks for: passion, Innovation and personal skills.
A good strategy is to be able to give a flavor of your application with this presentation, thus enabling you to switch to the interview part naturally.
You have plenty of feedbacks on the web that can guide you. In the end, just be yourself.
Hope it helps.

I presented on a cafe startup I took and some real estate investments I made that turned out profitable. I remember my first interviewer saying at the start of the interview that we want something different from your application since we know a lot about your work/achievements and industry from that so the presentation helps us see a different side of you. I guess, sharing a hobby or personal initiative outside work sort of felt right and was something I could speak well on so that is what I went with. Although it was basic, with a few pics and graphs, I didn't request a feedback from the interviewers.
To be honest, I think there is no right or wrong answer to this. As long as your delivery is good at it I guess
